EnableCustomBinding and PageSize.

[Juan Pablo Perez]

Hello,

I've created a custom binding grid.

View:

	<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.Models)
            .Name("Grid")
            .PrefixUrlParameters(false)
            .Columns(columns =>
                         {
                             columns.Bound(o => o.Code).Width(100);
                             columns.Bound(o => o.ISO3Code).Width(100);
                             columns.Bound(o => o.CDH).Width(100);
                             columns.Bound(o => o.Description).Width(400);
                             columns.Bound(o => o.DisabledDate).Width(100);
                         }
                    )
            .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("AjaxGrid", "Countries"))
            .Pageable(settings => settings.PageSize(Model.PageSize).Total(Model.Total))
            .EnableCustomBinding(true)
            .Sortable()
            .Filterable()
	%>

Controller:

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(new ViewModelCountries
                            {
                                Models = GetModels(new GridCommand()),
                                Total = _repository.Count,
                                PageSize = 5
                            }
                );
        }

        [GridAction(EnableCustomBinding = true)]
        public ActionResult AjaxGrid(GridCommand command)
        {
            return Json(new GridModel
                           {
                               Data = GetModels(command),
                               Total = _repository.Count
                           });
        }

Everything works properly except that PageSize. This is only working when Ajax binding is executed (show the 5 records I wanted), is that to say, it doesn't work (it shows the default 10 records) when the view is just loaded.

Any idea in how to resolve this?.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Juan,

The cause for the behavior you are experiencing is due to the fact that when initially bound, the GridCommand's default PageSize value is used in your custom data retrial routine. Therefore, in order to correct this you should modify the GridCommand object, similar th the following:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View(new ViewModelCountries
    {
        Models = GetModels(new GridCommand() { PageSize = 5 }),
        Total = _repository.Count,
        PageSize = 5
    });
}
