No records after grouped rebind

[Simon]

Hey Guys,
I have a radGrid bound to an object data source declaratively.  That source looks at a search box and a category dropdown for search parameters.  The search button calls a rebind.  Everything works great.

Until I turn grouping on.  The grouping works great on first page load, but on subsequent search button postbacks and therefore rebind() calls, there are no records found, even though that search works ok with grouping off.

Anyone know why this might be ?  Find my page below:

<fieldset>
        <legend>Search Help Centre</legend>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <label for="tbSearchText">Search text</label>
                <asp:TextBox ID="tbSearchText" runat="server" />
            </li>
            <li>
                <label for="catSelector">Category</label>
                <ah:CategorySelector ID="catSelector" runat="server" CategoryParentCat="Faq" InsertEmpty="All" />
            </li>
            <li> :</li>
            <li><label for="btnSearch"> </label><telerik:RadButton ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" OnClick="btnSearch_Click" /></li>
        </ul>
    </fieldset>

    <telerik:RadGrid ID="rgFaq" runat="server" DataSourceID="objFaq" GroupingEnabled="true" OnItemDataBound="rgFaq_ItemDataBound" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="200" AllowSorting="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
        <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="kbId" ShowHeader="false">
            <GroupByExpressions>
                <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
                    <GroupByFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="CategoryId" />
                    </GroupByFields>
                </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
            </GroupByExpressions>
            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <%#Eval("kbTitle") %>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
            </Columns>
        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

    <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="objFaq" EnablePaging="true" SelectMethod="SearchFaqList" SelectCountMethod="SearchFaqList_Count" runat="server" TypeName="ArtsHub.BLL.Faq.Faq">
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbSearchText" DefaultValue="" Name="searchText" Type="String" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="false" />
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="catSelector" PropertyName="SelectedCategoryId" Name="CategoryId" Type="Int32" />
        </SelectParameters>
    </asp:ObjectDataSource>

protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    rgFaq.DataBind();
}

protected void rgFaq_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem)
    {
        GridGroupHeaderItem item = (GridGroupHeaderItem)e.Item;
        DataRowView groupDataRow = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
        item.DataCell.Text = groupDataRow["CategoryId"].ToString();
    }
}

Thanks for any help.

Hello Simon,

Try setting the SelectFields collection in the GroupByExpressions. You have only set the GroupByFields collection in the GridGroupByExpression.
aspx:

<GroupByExpressions>

<telerik:GridGroupByExpression>

      <GroupByFields>

              <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="CategoryId" />

       </GroupByFields>

        <SelectFields>

           <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="CategoryId" />

       </SelectFields>
</telerik:GridGroupByExpression>

</GroupByExpressions>

Also check the following help documentation.
Declarative Definition.

Thanks,
Shinu.
