[Solved] Datapager not good on page load, good on postback

[vandenbroele]

Hello

I'm not getting this right. I want to display a feed from youtube. All the data is comming in fine. The youtube feeds will return chuncks of video's with a startindex ... so I have to use the PageIndexChanged to alter the paging.

Alas, it does only work correct afer I click one of the pages. This means that on original page load, it will still take the default pagesize of 10. Any help would be wonderful.

Btw, this is a radListview with radDatapager.

protected override void LoadPage()
{
    // make youtube channel
    channel = new YouTubeChannel(PMSettings.GetPortalSetting("channel"),
                                 PMSettings.GetPortalSetting("devkey"),
                                 PMSettings.GetModuleSetting("pagesize", 6));

    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        // request video feed
        feed = channel.Search("", 1);

        // configure list view
        ListViewVideos.PageSize = feed.PageSize;
        ListViewVideos.VirtualItemCount = feed.TotalResults;

        // data bind
        ListViewVideos.DataSource = feed.Entries;
        ListViewVideos.DataBind();
    }
}

protected void ListViewVideos_PageIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadListViewPageChangedEventArgs e)
{
    // request video feed
    feed = channel.Search("", e.NewPageIndex + 1);

    // configure list view
    ListViewVideos.PageSize = feed.PageSize;
    ListViewVideos.VirtualItemCount = feed.TotalResults;

    // data bind
    ListViewVideos.DataSource = feed.Entries;
    ListViewVideos.DataBind();
}

I figured it "works" if I run the following code twice in the page load:

ListViewVideos.PageSize = feed.PageSize;

ListViewVideos.VirtualItemCount = feed.TotalResults;

ListViewVideos.DataSource = feed.Entries;

ListViewVideos.DataBind();

I am still struggling with this problem.

Like this, it works too:

protected void Page_Load()
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                MyList.DataBind();
                MyList.VirtualItemCount = MyDataWrapper.Items;
                MyList.PageSize = MyDataWrapper.Pagesize;
                MyList.DataSource = MyDataWrapper.Entries;
            }
        }

The databinding happens before the source assignment.
This makes no sense, but like this it works ...

Any help?

Hello Vandenbroele,

Please note that in order to use paging functionality you should use either advanced databinding or declarative databinding.

Settings the pagesize on the listview has no direct effect, whether it is done in a pageload event or a listview-OnNeedDataSource event.
Even when setting the pagesize in the ascx control as a parameter, this did only work AFTER changing the pagenumber... So, when the page loads for the first time, the list takes its default value of 10 per page.

I figured setting the pagesize parameter directly on the datapager in the ascx, did work immediately.
I tried accessing the datapager in the OnNeedDataSource but discovered I could only access it in the layoutcreated event.

Right now, this works very well, but I'm still wondering why the pagesize property on a listview seems to be bugged (?)

Hi Vandenbroele,

When using the RadDataPager for paging RadListView, the page size is controlled by the RadDataPager. That is why you should get the value for the PageSize from it. To overcome the issue you are facing, you can try setting the same value for the RadDataPager and the RadListView initially, in he declaration. Then when the page size is changed throug the RadDataPager, change the new PageSize for the RadListView as well.

Let me know if this approach works.
