Issue Dynamically changing Datasource for Grid

[Richard]

I have the latest development build (2009.1.311.35).  I have a grid control that I dynamically change the datasource to.  If I change the datasource to a method that returns more results then everything seems to work great, but then when I change to a datasource with less results then number of items and pages that are available to select from are still reflecting the old datasource.

* Note with one of the datasources I have implemented custom paging.

Hi Richard,

I am not sure what exactly is the issue. One suggestion will be to clear the DataSource of the Grid first and then assign the new Data.

CS:

//Clear the DataSource of the Grid

RadGrid1.DataSource = new string[] { };

//Assign the new DataSource here

//RadGrid1.DataSource=ds;

Thanks

I am using ObjectDataSource's, and setting the DataSourceID dynamically not the DataSource.  One of the data source objects is using the paging feature IE (someBLL class) this allows a large number of rows in the result set without having to retreive them all each time the Grid is rebound (it is only retrieves the rows that I need to display). 

 

Look at this picture!  When switching back and forth between DataSourceID's and you have a datasource that implements the advanced paging feature, then it may still show the old number of the items from the previous datasource. (This does NOT happen when I am using DataSource objects that do not use the paging feature....)
