Paging not working for the previous page button?

[Pooya]

I have a RadGrid control that has been created dynamically and added to the page.

I have enabled paging for it by setting AllowPaging = true.

I have also set the EnableViewState = true for both RadGrid and its MasterTableView.

I've read this page and am using NeedDataSource event already.

Now, Next Page button works fine and I can see that RadGrid_PageIndexChanged event is raised.

However, when I click the Previous Page button, it doesn't work and indeed the RadGrid_PageIndexChanged event is not raised at all!

Why? How to fix this?

Thanks,

Hi Pooya,

In case you have handled the NeedDataSource event as it is done in this online example, then make sure you are not setting the grid table view data source outside the event and that you are calling the DataBind() method.

Hi,

thanks for your reply but like I said the RadGrid is created and added dynamically; that example is for declarative version and doesn't seem to be related?

When adding a RadGrid dynamically, I thought you had said we shouldn't call the DataBind() method?

I have a RadGridBuilder with Build() method that builds my RadGrid:

public RadGrid Build()
        {
            this.DataSource = GetDataSource();

            SetImmediateProperties();

            SetMasterTableView();

            this.RadGrid.Rebind();

            return this.RadGrid;
        }

and NeedDataSource:

 private void RadGridNeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
        {
            this.RadGrid.DataSource = this.DataSource;
        }

Also, my master table view data source was never set as the master table view uses the RadGrid data source. Please could you explain if it's not this way?

Do you have any example which shows the RadGrid paging works when the RadGrid is defined and added programmatically?

Many thanks,

[Pooya]

I think there is something wrong with viewstate.

When RadGrid.EnableViewState is true:

• these work: next and last buttons + page numbers apart from 1 + page size
• these don't work; first page number, first and previous navigation buttons

When RadGrid viewstate is disabled:

• these work: all page numbers
• these don't work: all 4 navigation buttons, page size

I have tried different options for ViewStateMode and EnableViewState of PlaceHolder and RadGrid.

Hello Pooya,

Please refer to the attached sample project which is working properly and let me know if it helps to resolve the problem you are facing with paging.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Pavlina; it helped a bit but the sample wasn't for the programmatic creation of the RadGrid.

At which event the DataBind() or Rebind() should be called?

I enabled view state for the RadGrid and called Rebind() at RadGrid_PreRender() event handler and Paging works now.

But this causes the nested tables not to work. also the settings of Export to Excel (e.g. ExportDataOnly = true) stop working.

Hi Pooya,

Can you please verify that you have followed the instructions from the following help article to create your grid entirely in code behind?

Yes. I removed the call to RadGrid.Rebind() method completely and everything sorted out!

Hi,

I am working on RadGrid inside a usercontrol and creating Template colums dynamically.
I have followed the rules of dynamic column creation and I am using the NeedDataSource to assign Datasource property of Radgrid.

The problem that I am facing is that when I click on the Previous, Next buttons of the paging the data does not bind to the Radgrid.
I get the proper number of rows with the header columns but emty rows.

Can any one help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prasanna,

I suggest you to open a formal support ticket and send us your project, so that we can try to identify the exact reason for the problem.
