1. When the page first loads, a random selection of five database items is retrieved and the DataListView is databound. This happens in the page load event and only if the page is not a postback
2. After this, users can select an item from a RadComboBox. Depending on the selection any number of items may be retrieved from the database
3. Upon the server side event of RadComboBox firing, new database results are retrieved and the DataListView is rebound

Issues:
1. When the DataListView is rebound (step 3 above), the DataPager control only displays 2 new page buttons. The additional page buttons which should be there do not appear until after one of the buttons have been clicked. For example, if 3 pages of results are returned then the DataPager will show [1, 2], and if I click on 1 or 2 then it is refreshed and shows [1, 2, 3, n....]
2. Another hideous problem is that the DataListView "OnPageIndexChanged" event goes into a loop on the server side (ouch!!!)

Please could you advise as there are no examples of binding the DataListView and RadDataPager using anything other than a static datasource.

I have a mode in application that uses radeditor where a certain role, call it “user” has no ability to modify content other than through 3 custom “note annotation” buttons on custom tool bar and in the context menu (add note, delete note, modify note).  I figure there are two ways of doing this with radeditor;

1.       Use Design mode and when the ‘user role’ is detected go into design mode remove all the tool bars except the one that has the 3 annotation buttons remove all context menus except the 3 annotation buttons.  I can disable content by catching all keystokes (that I want to catch) in a client side key event handler.  (This mode is the one I’m currently coding to at the moment)

Problems with this method:

1.       I have some bordered colored span tags that the “user role” can grab with the mouse and move around, which I would like to disable.

2.       Some content is in tables and the “user role” can size the borders, which I would like to disable.

3.       All tables even with invisible borders can have their border sized modified by the “user role”

2.       Use Preview mode.  I can enable the three button based on this support article http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/enabling-print-button-in-preview-mode.aspx .  Here there is not the problems listed in #1 but there are other problems introduced;

Problems with this method (so far)

1.       Some html document elements don’t work, like getElementById which is essential for inserting annotations into document

2.       It does not appear that the editor content can be modified by client side programming.

3.       Cursor selection is disabled

If I could overcome the problems for either 1 or 2 I think I could fulfill my “user role” requirement with limited user editing via client/server program control

Thank you for any thoughts on the issue.
