Edit Button doesn't show Edit Form in RadGrid

[Jennifer]

I have the search form and RadGrid on the same page. I'm databinding the RadGrid using the button click in the codebehind. The search works, but when I click an Edit button in a row, the RadGrid disappears. If I click my search forms button again, the RadGrid reappears with the correct row in Edit Mode.

I think I'm missing data binding the RadGrid to an additional event handler, but I'm not sure. I've tried several events and it didn't change.

Here's my super-simplified code.
ASPX

 

 

<telerik:radscriptmanager runat="server"></telerik:radscriptmanager>

 

Column Name:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">

 

 

<asp:ListItem Value="PROD_DIET_SUPP_NAME">Product Name</asp:ListItem>

 

 

<asp:ListItem Value="PRODUCT_CODE">Product Code</asp:ListItem>

 

 

<asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem>

 

 

</asp:DropDownList>

 

 

Function:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList4" runat="server">

 

 

<asp:ListItem Value="Contains">Contains</asp:ListItem>

 

 

<asp:ListItem Value="StartsWith">Starts With</asp:ListItem>

 

 

<asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem>

 

 

</asp:DropDownList>

 

 

Search Term:

 

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />

 

 

 

<asp:Button ID="Button1"

Hello Jennifer,

In order to implement advanced features in RadGrid like paging, editing, sorting etc you should use Advanced data binding using NeedDataSource event which fires each time when any of these operation occurs. Check the following help documentation which explains more about this.
Advanced Data-binding (using NeedDataSource event).

Thanks,
Shinu.
