asp.net mvc - How to retain data (form) on custom pagination using MVC? -

i have grid (list generated using scaffolding option) search criteria. , created paging concept. entered search criteria data , search, after post back, retained form data using tempdata. but, if click page numbers in grid, form data not retained , grid getting refreshed.

is there way retain data on pagination?

thanks!

i added hidden field dynamically within form using javascript. page number stored in hidden field, when user click page number, submit form. working without issue.

paging:

<button onclick="navigateto(this, '@url.routeurl("defined_route", new { currentpage = j })');">@j</button> 

javascript:

$(function () { //page load - create hidden field, if search button found     if ($("#search")) // button id     {         var element = document.createelement("input");         element.type = "hidden";         element.id = "currentpage";         element.name = "currentpage";         element.value = '@tempdata["page"]';         if (isnan(element.value)) element.value = "1";         $(to).parent().append(element);     } });  function navigateto(field, url) {     $("#currentpage").val(field.innertext);     if (isnan($("#currentpage").val()))     {         location.href = url;//this direct url, ie. no search form     }     else     {         $("form").action = url;         $("form").submit();     } }
