NeedDataSource based on combobox SelectedValue

[Ida]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid that binds using NeedDataSource. The NeedDataSource calls a tableadapter that uses a combobox SelectedValue as an input parameter. So the grid is populated based on the SelectedValue.

That works fine when the page first loads. Though I am having issues with when I change a combobox SelectedValue.

I believe it is a matter of the event ordering. As in the NeedDataSource kicks off BEFORE the SelectedIndexChanged is fired.

Below is my RadGrid:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RDHauls" runat="server" AutoGenerateEditColumn="True" GridLines="Horizontal" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AlternatingItemStyle-BackColor="#ecf3f4" BorderColor="#28899A" EditItemStyle-BackColor="#009999" EditItemStyle-Font-Bold="true" OnItemDataBound="RDHauls_ItemDataBound" OnItemCreated="RDHauls_ItemCreated" OnNeedDataSource="RDHauls_NeedDataSource" CssClass="Radgrid">

And the table that contains the comboboxes is as follows:

                     </asp:ObjectDataSource>
                   </td>
                </tr>
             </table>

Whenever the ddlTripCode SelectedValue is changed, the grid needs rebound. The problem is that when ddlTripCode SelectedValue changes, the NeedDataSource appears to be retaining the PREVIOUS SelectedValue, not the new one.

Here is my NeedDataSource code:

Protected Sub RDHauls_NeedDataSource(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) Handles RDHauls.NeedDataSource
            ' Get the Trip Code for binding the grid
            TripCode = RTrim(CStr(ddlTripCode.SelectedValue))
            ' Get all the haul(s) details for the trip code selected
            Dim ds As New DSHaulsTableAdapters.DisGetHaulDetailsByTripcodeTableAdapter
            ' Bind the grid to the haul(s) details
            RDHauls.DataSource = ds.GetHaulDetailsByTripcode(TripCode)
        End Sub

Any advice please? I have to keep re-selecting a ddlTripCode SelectedValue to get the grid to bind to the correct data.

Thank you, Ida

Hi Ida,

You have to call the Rebind() method on the OnSelectedIndexChanged of the DropDownList so as to raise the OnNeedDataSource event of the RadGrid.

VB:

Protected Sub ddlTripCode_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlTripCode.SelectedIndexChanged
  RDHauls.Rebind()
End Sub

Thanks,
Shinu

Hi Shinu

I placed RDHauls.Rebind() on all 3 of my dropdowns in my table.

The grid is still rebinding on the PREVIOUS selected trip code.

Hi Ida,

The code works fine at my end, here is a sample code that i have tried.

ASPX:

<table class="tbldialog" id="Table1">
    <tr>
        <td>
            <asp:Label ID="lblId" runat="server">OrderID</asp:Label>
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlID" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="OrderID"
                DataValueField="OrderID" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlID_SelectedIndexChanged">
            </asp:DropDownList>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <asp:Label ID="lblCustomerID" runat="server">CustomerID</asp:Label>
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCustomerID" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"
                DataTextField="CustomerID" DataValueField="CustomerID" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlCustomerID_SelectedIndexChanged">
            </asp:DropDownList>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>

Hi Shinu.

Thanks for your help. When the page first loads, all is fine.

Battled with trying to get the grid to refresh as I wanted, with no luck :-(

The grid seems to refresh correctly ONLY when DropDownList ID="ddlTripCode" is changed.

When either of the 2 dropdowns ddlYear or ddlID are changed, the dropdown ddlTripCode is rebounded and its values change. I want the newly calculated, presented, selected value of ddlTripCode to be used as the parameter to rebind/refresh the grid. The grid is still rebinding on the PREVIOUS trip code that was shown on the screen as the selected value.

Hi Ida,

I guess you may be using DataTable to bind the data to RadGrid, if you are, then please try clearing the DataTable before filling again with data. if this doesn't help you please provide your code that you use for binding the RadGrid.

VB:

Dim myDataTable As New DataTable()
myDataTable.Clear()

Thanks,
Shinu

Ahhh, maybe getting somewhere then Shinu. Thank you.

I am using a tableadapter to bind data to the grid:

Protected Sub RDHauls_NeedDataSource(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) Handles RDHauls.NeedDataSource
    ' Get the Trip Code for binding the grid
    TripCode = RTrim(CStr(ddlTripCode.SelectedValue))
    ' Get all the haul(s) details for the trip code selected
    Dim ds As New DSHaulsTableAdapters.DisGetHaulDetailsByTripcodeTableAdapter
    ' Bind the grid to the haul(s) details
    RDHauls.DataSource = ds.GetHaulDetailsByTripcode(TripCode)
End Sub

Is it possible to clear what I have extracted using the tableadapter please?

Thank you. Ida

Hi Ida,

Can you try TableAdapter.ClearBeforeFill ,it determines whether a data table is emptied before you call one of the Fill methods.
Please try and let me know.

Thanks,
Shinu

Hi Shinu,

I did try to ensure the tableadapter was cleared before filling again, though still getting the same outcome as before.

Protected Sub RDHauls_NeedDataSource(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) Handles RDHauls.NeedDataSource
           ' Get the Trip Code for binding the grid
           TripCode = RTrim(CStr(ddlTripCode.SelectedValue))
             ' Get all the haul(s) details for the trip code selected
           Dim ds As New DSHaulsTableAdapters.DisGetHaulDetailsByTripcodeTableAdapter
           ds.ClearBeforeFill = True
           ' Bind the grid to the haul(s) details
           RDHauls.DataSource = ds.GetHaulDetailsByTripcode(TripCode)
       End Sub

When either of the 2 dropdowns ddlYear or ddlID are changed, the dropdown ddlTripCode is rebounded and its values change. I want the tripcode that is shown at the top of the ddlTripCode dropdownlist to be used as the parameter to bind the radgrid. Instead, what is happening is that when ddlYear or ddlID selections are changed, the grid rebinds on the PREVIOUS trip code that was shown on the screen as the selected value.

Hello Ida,

I noticed that ddlTripCode is bound to an ObjectDataSource and ddlYear and ddlID are used to create the data for the ddlTripCode dropdown based on their selection. In case when you choose some item from the ddlYear or ddlID dropdowns the ddlTripCode will rebind and it will display the default value (first item). In this case you the grid will be bound based on that value. I would recommend you to reconsider your logic or use a Session to store the last selected item from the ddlTripCode and bound the grid based on it.
