ASP.NET - MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback

The MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback page directive attribute allows to do that.

This feature is useful for large pages where scrolling is necessary to view input controls down further on the page.

There are three ways of applying the property to a web page.

1. You can set it programmatically Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostBack = true;
2. In the page declaration <%@ Page MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" %>
3. Or in the web.configs <system.web> section. <pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="true" />

This feature is an absolute must-have on large web pages built for postback scenarios.

A simple but very useful feature.
