I've got a GridView control on a simple web page in ASP.net 3.5.

I've an Array of Employees. An Employee has First Name, Last Name, IsActiveEmployee etc

My GridView control is Bounded to the Array: DataSource = myarray, gridview1.DataBind()

I have template column with holds a link button

when the button is clicked, I've got a method which will set the selected

employee "IsActiveEmployee"  flag to false.

My problem is that when the page reloads and binds, the array returned is NOT change - it is the same array.  

Can somebody please help?

My Page file is defined as:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
         
           this.GridView1.DataSource = Utils.GetGlobalListOfOutlookContacts();
           this.GridView1.DataBind();
       }

       protected void MarkAsPrivate(int id)
       {
           int tmpId = id;
           Utils.MarkPrivate(tmpId);
       }

protected void LinkButton1_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
       {
           object o = e.CommandArgument;
           String s = Convert.ToString(o);
           int tmpId = Convert.ToInt32(s);            
           Utils.MarkPrivate(tmpId);
       }

}

My Utils file is defined as:

public static class Utils
   {
       public static readonly String SPACE = " ";
       private static List<AContact> GlobalListOfOutLookContacts = new List<AContact>()
       {
           new AContact {ContactId=1388, FirstName = "Kriss", LastName = "Bellamy", Company="Oracle", E_mail="kriss.bellamy@oracle.com", Location="5100 Town Cntr Circle"},
           new AContact {ContactId=1389, FirstName = "Ada", LastName = "peterson", Company="Oracle", E_mail="ada.peterson@oracle.com", Location="1364 Park Street"},
           new AContact {ContactId=1390, FirstName = "Paul", LastName = "wellby", Company="Oracle", E_mail="paul.wellby@oracle.com", Location="54 State St Suite 1000"},
           new AContact {ContactId=1391, FirstName = "Damien", LastName = "Johnson", Company="Google", E_mail="damien.johnson@oracle.com", Location="1 Atlon Court Paris"}
       };

public static List<AContact> GetGlobalListOfOutlookContacts()
       {
           var ContactList = from contacts in GlobalListOfOutLookContacts where contacts.IsPrivateContact != true select contacts;

           List<AContact> retVal = new List<AContact>();
           foreach (AContact c in ContactList)
           {
               retVal.Add(c);

           }
           return retVal;
       }

       public static void MarkPrivate(int cid)
       {
           var ContactList = (from contacts in GlobalListOfOutLookContacts where (contacts.ContactId == cid) select contacts).First();
           ContactList.IsPrivateContact = true;
       }
