DetailsView AutoPaging Disappears.

So, paging on the DetailsView is a nice feature. But say you have 400 records. You don't want your visitor to have to pay through 10 by 10 until they finally reach record 392. Rather you want them to be able to type in the record they want and grab it. No problem. You drop in a TextBox and a Button control. On Click for the Button you change the DefaultValue of the ID variable, so that pull the 392nd record instead of the 1st. Hmmm...Except for now your handy little AutoPaging feature is gone. It shows the record gone, but you can't page forward or backwards. What a sad predicament...Any ideas how I can escape it?

Actually PageIndex is the right method to call. If you do

DetailsView1.PageIndex = TextBox1.Text - 1

It will bring you to the correct page, not based on the id though as ID 55 could be on page 53 in case 2 id's have been deleted. The -1 is because the PI is zero based.
