In this article we will look at how to create an ASP.NET User Control which will act as a common header to a site. It will automatically know which page we are looking at, and it will remove links to the same page from itself. For example, on this site, if we click on the About us section of the header, it will take you to the page, and it will make that link inactive. That way, we know that we are under that section, and we can't click on it anymore.

Two of the actions that are hard-wired into it are Paging and Sorting. On their own they work great, but not so well together. When you sort a column and then move to a previous or next page, the sorting preference is not maintained. In this article we will see how to maintain both by using the Viewstate object.
