paging not working for dynamically bound grid

[Mark]

I have a radgrid that is bound dynamically within the code, the page size is set to 10 as you can see below, however
the paging isn't working correctly. All the rows are displayed and there is no option to page to the next page.

the grid is bound on the click of a button with the following code

       grv_cand_shifts.DataSource = swaps.tbl_shifts_to_give_away;
            grv_cand_shifts.DataBind();





          
please can you help.

Hello Robert,

Instead of binding the grid conditionally using simple binding with DataBind() calls, you can transform your code to take advantage of the advanced binding with NeedDataSource handling. Thus you will be able to utilize features like paging, grouping, filtering, custom edit forms which are supported only with this type of binding or declarative data sources.

Give this suggestion a try and let me know how it goes.
