Problems with RadGrid

[Birgit]

I created a Telerik AJAX project and added a web page with master page. I added RadScriptManager, RadAjaxManager and RadGrid and set the columns. The grid is set to allow sorting and filtering via the telerik options. If I get the data, the filtering and sorting returns a page with only a small area in it - not filled with any data and not showíng the empty grid text. What is going wrong? Can you please help me to get this up?

Here is my page definition:

 

 

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" Runat="server">

 

 

 

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

 

 

 

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">

</UpdatedControls>

 

 

 

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

Do I have to program something or will it work automatically?

Hello Birgit,

I suppose you are binding the grid using Simple data binding technique. If you are using any advanced feature in grid(like paging), then a better approach is binding RadGrid using "AdvancedData binding" using NeedDataSource event.

For more information about this can be available here.
Advanced Data-binding (using NeedDataSource event).

Thanks,
Shinu.

Great, thanks. I will check the documentation link for more information.
