Grid.Pageable(false) but Grid still show DataSource.PageSize(m) records only

[Chris]

HI

I found there have a problem about Grid.Pageable() and DataSource.PageSize().

If you set Grid.Pageable(false) and Grid becomes unpageable(this is OK)
but DataSource.PageSize(m) setting still applied (Grid still show m records at once, not all records).

I think when Grid.Pageable(false) and Grid should show all records absolutely, RIGHT ? 

  @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.MyList1)
    .Name("MyList1Grid")
    .Pageable(pageable => pageable.Enabled(false))
    ...
    .DataSource(dataSource => 
    {
      dataSource.Ajax()
        .PageSize(3)
        .ServerOperation(false)
        .Model(model => model.Id(m => m.UniqueID))
    })
    ...;

Hello, Chris,

The described result is expected because the DataSource is working on the data level only. The pageSize set in the dataSource will determine the number of items in its view, and the pageable property of the Grid will determine if there will be a visible UI rendered to control the pages.

The main reason is that the Grid has a virtual scrolling and endless scrolling features which depend on the pageSize of the dataSource and at the same time does not use the Pageable property of the Grid:

Please let me know if you need additional information on this matter.

OK, I will remove the dataSource.PageSize(m) setting.

And I think the API Document should describe this situation clearly : 

pageSize

Hello, Chris,

Thank you for the provided feedback, it is highly appreciated.

We will discuss if we can make the description more accurate as we constantly try to improve our documentation.

Currently, this is not added as the DataSource is an independent component and may be used with widgets other than the Grid.

We will consider adding it in the Grid pageable description.
