[Solved] Ajax Grid prevent initial fetch

[tdekoekkoek]

Is it possible to use ajax binding, but prevent the initial fetch?  I only want to actually bind when I have some search criteria and pass that in rebind();

Thanks

Hello tdekoekkoek,

You can subscribe to the OnDataBinding client-side event and prevent it if there is no search criteria. Here is a code snippet:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .ClientEvents(events => events.OnDataBinding("onDataBinding"));
%>

<script type="text/javascript">
function onDataBinding(e) {
    if (!isThereAnySearchCriteria()) {
          e.preventDefault();
    }
}
</script>
