Grid null in Sys.Application.Load

[towpse]

Hey all.
I'm trying to convert a page to do data binding all on the client-side.
I'm starting with a simple method call from javascript in the aspx file.

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function pageLoad() {
            load();
        }
    </script>

In my javascript file I'm using

Sys.Application.add_load(function() {
 _tableView = $find('MyGridId').get_masterTableView();
}

In which case the grid is null or not an object. Sys.Application.load is raised after all scripts have been loaded and the objects in the application have been created and initialized so I would expect the grid to be there.

What am I missing?

Here's my grid. Thanks.

                <telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="MyGridId" Skin="Office2007" AutoGenerateColumns="false" AllowMultiRowSelection="true"
                    Width="600" >

Hello Matt,

If you are not binding RadGrid initially on server you need to attached handler on OnCommand client event of RadGrid.

/for example/

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="RadGrid1" >
            <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False">
                <Columns>
                   //grid columns
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings>
                <ClientEvents OnCommand="function(){}" />
            </ClientSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

Thus RadGrid will expect that it will bound to client and MasterTableView will be created.

All the best,

Right, right. Thanks.
Or you can bind to an empty collection of some kind on the server side.
                Grid.DataSource = new object[] { };
                Grid.DataBind();
