caching sample..

[TMLP]

Hi,

I am trying to get client-side caching so that my grid doesn't have to contact the server when paging number is clicked..
On the example, what is the Location property? Do I have to have a webservice to be able to use client-side caching?

<ClientSettings>
    <DataBinding Location="~/Grid/Examples/Client/DeclarativeDataBinding/WebService.asmx"
        SelectMethod="GetDataAndCount" EnableCaching="true" />
</ClientSettings>

Thanks..

I think this example in the documentation should better fit your needs :)

I have the same question and that link didn't help at all. Not even related.  Did you ever find a solution?  I bind my grid on the NeedDataSource event.  Every time a user pages, it hits the database again.  Anyway to cache this at the client?

Seems like that was a bad copy and paste on my part, what I mean to copy was the following:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/client-side-binding.html

Which also talks about client-side caching. Basically in order to get this kind of functionality you will have to do client-side binding of your RadGrid - which can either be done via the WebService or page methods. The location property refers to where you have your WebService defined.

Since the RadGrid does not load the entire DataSet at once you will have to go back to the DataSource in order to retrieve the next or previous pages, which is why the NeedDataSource is being fired. If you go the WebService route and enable caching this should not happen on pages of the RadGrid which you have previously paged to.

Thanks, much better :)
