I am calling the sub from within the needdatasource event. so now the grid loads either cached or fresh data. I am handling paging via calling bindgrid() again and setting pageindex to newpageindex.

This works fine. When I go into edit mode and incorporate the GridEditableitem method and update the selected row this also works fine except that the cached data now no longer matches the updated data. until the cache is rebuilt or I manually remove the cache on updated.

Do you have any method or trick to updating the grid to the new values without having to rebuild the cache? I suppose I could somehow extract the datatable from the cache, loop through the datatable, find the affected row, somehow update the column and reset the grid... but that seems pretty laborious.

Following  are  2 paneltems in the panel bar.  On button click of btnAddAccountChecking I am trying to expand  CheckingAddUserControl panel item. It does expand the panel item but after that it breaks on Telerik general   undefined object null javascript error  .

This is the code to attach java function for CheckingAddUserControl Client side processing.

Dim btnAddChecking As ImageButton = CType(pnlTopLevel.Items().FindItemByValue("CheckingAdd").Items().FindItemByValue("CheckingAddbtn").FindControl("btnAddAccountChecking"), ImageButton)

Dim openWinScript As String = "SetVisibility('CheckingAddUserControl');"

                  btnAddChecking.OnClientClick = openWinScript

This is the JavaScript Function:

     <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">  

    <script type="text/javascript">

            function SetVisibility(itemValue) {

                  var panelBar = $find("<%= pnlBarAccounts.ClientID %>");

                  var panelItem = panelBar.findItemByValue(itemValue);

                  panelItem.expand();

         }

    </script>

</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

These are the panelitems

<telerik:RadPanelItem value="CheckingAdd" runat="server" Text="CheckingAdd" Expanded="true" style="display:none;">

                                                <Items>

                                                      <telerik:RadPanelItem value="CheckingAddbtn" runat="server" Text="" Expanded="true">

                                                            <ItemTemplate>

                                                                  <br />

                                                                  <asp:ImageButton ID="btnAddAccountChecking" runat="server"  />

                                                            </ItemTemplate> 

                                                      </telerik:RadPanelItem>

                                                </Items>

                                                 </telerik:RadPanelItem>

                                          <telerik:RadPanelItem value="CheckingAddUserControl" runat="server" Expanded="false" Visible="true">

                                                <Items>    

                                                      <telerik:RadPanelItem  runat="server" Expanded="true" >

                                                            <ItemTemplate>

                                                                  <UC1:CheckingAcct ID="CheckingAcct1" runat="server"   AcctID="0" />

                                                            </ItemTemplate> 

                                                      </telerik:RadPanelItem>

                                                </Items>

                                          </telerik:RadPanelItem>

The RegisterRequiresViewStateEncryption() method needs to be called before or during Page_PreRender.
