[Solved] Grid binding decisions

[James]

I'm learning the mvc grid and trying to figure out how the binding works. I have a series of text boxes on my form that are going to be used to filter the grid results when a button is clicked (client's business requirement). I currently have the button, text boxes and grid wrapped in an ajax post but I don't know how to get the grid to refresh.  I want the grid to be fast, and utilize client side sorting, and paging. What type of binding should I use? CustomBinding? Ajax? I just don't have the experience with the grid to foresee what is involved with each binding choice. I currently have my data in a list of objects that I return in the model to the view. 

I'm using the 2011 q3 mvc controls. 

Thanks

Hello James,


I would suggest you to use Ajax binding for your Grid and enable the client OperationMode. Also you can check the filter method which is available for the Grid client-side API.
