[Solved] GridClientSelectColumn doesn't maintain state when paging

[rh]

I have a grid with a GridClientSelectColumn. The grid has paging turned on. If I select some items from page 1, go to page 2, then back to page 1 then the items are no longer selected. I fail to understand this. Why have a column type like this if it isn't going to maintain state when paging?

Hello,

GridClientSelectColumn select rows on the client. So it does not persist on postbacks. Here's a help document link which explains on how to persist client-side selection across pages:
Persisting the selected rows client-side on sorting/paging/filtering/grouping

Thanks
Princy.

The column seems incomplete without providing this functionality. Why not just include this functionality in the product rather than make everyone write the same code over and over again?

Hi rh,

Thank you for the feedback - I will forward it to our developers for further consideration. This functionality has not been integrated in the grid due to performance reasons (browser engine pressure) when you have large number of items in the grid on the current page that has to be selected when changing the page index.
