[Solved] Custom non-Ajax data binding to Grid, has anyone tried?

[Shreyans]

Hi,
     I am trying to bind data myself rather than Ajax taking care of everything. The reason I am doing this is because the back-end data source does not filter and send data. Earlier we used to filter the data on server and bind a portion of it to 3 different grids on server side. but there is huge Perf penalty takes about 9 secs to page load. Then I made it to work with client side Ajax, now the problem is each grid request data from the same back-end data source and the same data is retrieved 3 times and filtered.
   To avoid this I am basically triggering a Ajax call to server which then requests the back-end, once server receives data it will filter and return JSonResult. but how do I bind the data to these grids on client side.
Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Shreyans,

 In such  case you should use the dataBind method to bind the Grid to a specified array of objects. Also you will need to enable the ClientOperation mode and set the total field exposed by the client object of the grid to a valid value.
