Paging Postback Problems

[Jon-Jon Kershaw]

I have a selection for an event history and when I make the selection and hit the search button the radgrid posts but when I hit next page button the radgrid disappears then when I hit the search button again the second page appears.  I tried to add the radgrid to an update panel but it still does the same thing.  Do I have something not set right?  I added an ajaxmanager too but there is already one on the master default page.  Thanks in advance.

also noticed this javascript error too maybe this has something to do with it.

Error:  Sys.InvalidOperationException:  A control is already associated with the element.

URL:  //localhost:2269/WebSite/cui/default.aspx

that is my master page.

Hello Jon,

As I reviewed the posted code I noticed that you are using simple data-biding. My assumption is that when you click the Search button you create a query and after its execution it returns the data which the grid is bound to.

Please verify that the grid is bound again with data when the OnPageIndexChanged event is fired, otherwise no data will be populated in by the grid.

I will suggest that you use advanced data-binding and have AllowPaging property set to true. Please refer to this online demo for more information about paging.
I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,

I refired the button search query upon selected index change and that seem to work but that seems like it should work differently.  Is this a correct way to do it?  I just didn't think that code behind was needed inorder to page.  Does the paging basically do a call each time but just for the select amount of records requested on the page?  So you aren't pulling a 100,000 grid you are just pulling the 5 each time.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Jonh,

When you are using paging the gird will get only the data which your data provider returns. That means when the data provider returns 1000 rows, the grid will take only the rows which it needs, but anyway you still will return 1000 rows every time when OnPageIndexChanged is raised. Grid needs only the rows which will be shown on the page, and needs all data when it performs filtering, sorting and grouping.
For further information about custom paging you can refer to this page.
I hope this helps.
