[Solved] Mixed binding grid, persist filters on form post

[Ryan]

My scenario is I have a grid that is initially bound by server binding.  Any filtering, paging, sorting, or special client side filtering (from a form) is done with ajax binding.  This all works fine.

There is a Submit button that posts to a HttpPost action handler.  The problem I am running into is in this mixed mode the grid does not persist the filtering, orderby, or page number back to with the post.  The page size DOES persist on the post, but none of the rest. I need the additional properties of the grid.

Is this clear and is this supported?

Hi Ryan,

Basically to persist the state of the Grid on post, you can use the client API of the Grid to get the properties representing the state and send them as route values to the controller.
e.g.

var grid = $("#grid").data("tGrid");
var orderBy = grid.orderBy;
var currentPage = grid.currentPage;
var filterBy = grid.filterBy;

Also you can take a look at this code library which shows how to preserve the grid state (paging, sorting, filtering and grouping) when navigating between pages.
I hope this helps.
