How to avoid Grid AutoDataBind

[Mike]

Hello

I am using RadGrid  5.1.3.0
I am setting Grid datasource at Page.Load and call Grid's DataBind method; after filling grid's items I explicitly set SelectedItem in a grid. But right after that grid's OnLoad is called which rebinds the grid and calls AutoDataBind method, which kills my row selection. I definitely can set Selection on GridDataBound even, but that makes my code not so well structured. Is there any way to disable AutoDataBind method call?

Thanks in advance.

try setting  AutoGenerateColumns="False"  inside the MasterTableView tag

for example <MasterTableView  AutoGenerateColumns="False">

Hi guys,

You may also consider switching to NeedDataSource binding as shown in this online demo:

Thus operations like sorting/paging/editing/etc. will not require any additional coding as opposed to simple binding with DataBind() calls.
