[Solved] OnDataBinding Client Event

[Gabe]

I would like to handle my sorting with a client side event.
So something like this:

.ClientEvents(e => e.OnDataBinding("sortColumn"))

then:

function sortColumn(e) {
 
    try {
       
       // What type of command fired this event? Is there something i can do to determine why the event was fired such as...
       // if (e.type == "sortedcolumn") { // do things }


       // Single column sort only...
       
       $.getJSON("MyController/Action/", { SortedColumns: e.sortedColumns  }, function (data) {

// rebind data here....
$('#mygrid).data('tgrid').dataBind(data.Data);
 }, 'json');
   }
    catch (x) { 
    }
}

Is there a way to detect what create the databinding event to be fired? Like command = sortedcolumn

I know there is other ways to do this like creating a custombinding scenario, but I would like to handle it like the above. Is this a bad approach ?

Thanks!

Hi Gabe,

Currently it is not possible to determine what caused the OnDataBinding event to trigger (paging, sorting, filtering or grouping). Normally you would like to implement sorting in all those cases - for example the paging should display sorted data etc.
