[Solved] NeedDataSource not firing

[MD]

I'm having a problem where the NeedDataSource event of the grid is not firing on initial load when I load and add a user control containing a grid in a Place Holder control.  I don't experience the same problem when loading and adding the user control in a RadPageView.  The user control loads and runs through the normal lifecycle, but the grid's NeedDataSource Event doesn't fire when adding it to a place holder.  The NeedDataSource method is wired to the grid's event and works as expected when the user control is added to other controls.  Any ideas on why it doesn't fire would be appreciated. 

UserControlwGrid userControlwGrid = (UserControlwGrid)LoadControl("UserControlwGrid.ascx");

userControlwGrid.ID = "userControlwGrid"; //Set additional Properties of User Control

placeholder.Controls.Add(userControlwGrid);

UserControlwGrid userControlwGrid = (UserControlwGrid)LoadControl("UserControlwGrid.ascx");

userControlwGrid.ID = "userControlwGrid";  //Set additional Properties of User Control

RadPageView.Controls.Add(userControlwGrid);

Never gets called

protected void radGrid_NeedDataSource(object source, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    radGrid.DataSource = GetMyDataSource();
}

Hello MD,

I could not reproduce the problem you describe. Could you try reproducing the issue on the attached sample and get back with the result.

Thanks.
