handle load on demand data before binding

[mirang]

I am using load on demand using WCF mechanism to bind child nodes to a node. Is there any way I can get hold of that data after it is returned from WCF service and before binding it to the client. Actually I wanted to prevent the entire list list of data from binding it to the client and keep the remaining of data in cache on the client browser. 
eg. if there are 5000 records returned from WCF service using load on demand, when the data reaches the browser, before binding it, i want to extract only 100 records from the set, bind it and then keep the remaining 4500 records on the client browser cache(variable).

Currently i believe if we are using load on demand using WCF there is no way on the client to get the data returned from WCF service and modify the collection.

Any updates on this ?

Hi Mirang,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to prevent the returned nodes from being bound to the tree.

I would suggest a different approach. Just have the Service return a portion of the nodes, with a "LoadMode..." button as the last node. Clicking this node loads another portion of records and so on.

I've attached a sample page demonstrating the approach.
