Webservice data binding example demo

[Mark]

Folks:

I have attempted to recreate the demo here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-binding/client-side/programmatic/defaultcs.aspx. I have a blank and broken grid since this web method:
 public static List<Employee> GetData(int startIndex, int maximumRows,

string sortExpressions, List<GridFilterExpression> filterExpressions)

is not being called from this client script:
PageMethods.GetData(0, tableView.get_pageSize(),

tableView.get_sortExpressions().toString(), tableView.get_filterExpressions().toList(),

updateGrid);

Without this data the following client call is failing with a null error:

function RadGrid1_RowDataBound(sender, args) {

var radTextBox1 = args.get_item().findControl("LastName"); // find control

radTextBox1.set_value(args.get_dataItem()["LastName"]); fails here

}

Can anyone please explain why the server side portion is not being called or provide a better example of client side data binding.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you would like to implement RadGrid with client-side binding I would recommend you using RadClientDataSource. This control enables you to easily bind RadGrid to a WebService. In addition you can use CRUD operations. You can refer to the example below that illustrates how you can
bind RadGrid on the client to a RadClientDataSource control:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-binding/client-side/client-data-source-binding/defaultcs.aspx

Try using similar approach and you should be able to implement the functionality you are looking for.
