Access data on server-side that has been bound on client-side

[Christian]

Hey there,
I'm currently facing following problem:
On an ASP.NET page there is a RadGrid that gets filled on client-side using a SignalR connection.
The databinding is done like this:

var table = $find('blablatableid');
var tableView = table.get_masterTableView();
tableView.set_dataSource(viewModels);
tableView.dataBind();

The grid is filled and the data is displayed correctly. 

During a postback caused by a button click I need to access the data in the server-side code but the grid seems to be empty. The grid doesn't have a datasource and the ItemsCollection is empty. Did I forget something or is this scenario not supported?

 

Best regards,

 

Christian

Hello Christian,

I have to say that the described behavior is expected. When client-side binding is used the grid data can be accessed only on the client and is not available on the server. If extracting some information from the grid items on the server is mandatory I recommend switching to server-side binding.
