I am trying to create a pagination for a website. However, whenever I click the button that signals the server to go to the next page, it will still load the same page (e.g. from page 1 to page 2), but it then works correctly from page 2 onwards displaying an incorrect page number in the page label (e.g. pagelabel = 3, currentpage=2). There is also the issue of not reaching the last page since the page does not seem to start at page 1, but when I proceed to click the page_back_button, it will then proceed to display the last page. I am having troubles in finding the source of this problem. Here is the source code that I created.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
LoadPageSizer();
LeadStatusDDL();
Session["curr_page"] = 1;
}
rptLeadsPager.DataSource = ListLeads(ddlLStatus.Text.ToString(), Convert.ToInt16(Session["curr_page"]), Convert.ToInt16(ddlPageSize.Text));
rptLeadsPager.DataBind();
BuildPagination(Convert.ToInt16(Session["total_page"]), Convert.ToInt16(Session["curr_page"]), 10);
}

UPDATE! I have fixed the problem of the link buttons.
However, there is a new problem. Whenever I am in a specific page (ex. Page Number 6) and I select from the Results Per Page Drop-Down List (ex. From 20 to 50) the total page would then change from (ex. 9 to 3).
However! The specific page that I am currently on (Page 6) is out of bounds of the Total Page (ex. total page = 3, my current page = 6). It will then display nothing and I have to click the button backwards just to reach the last page of the new Results Per Page list.
I have created a code to specify where the Session["curr_page"] should be whenever this happens. However, I could not determine where to put this code, since it does not fire whenever I change the results per page drop down list. Here is the code that I made.
if (Convert.ToInt16(Session["curr_page"]) > Convert.ToInt16(Session["total_page"]))
{
Session["curr_page"] = Session["total_page"];
}
