[Solved] Problem with custom binding and paging

[Paul den Dulk]

Hi!

In our use of the Telerik asp.net mvc grid we fetch only the records needed from the db that are shown in the grid. We use custom binding as in the example here

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/custombinding

We also use ajax editing like in the example here:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/editingajax

Both technologies work well in isolation but if we combine them the page count information seems to get lost after doing an insert, delete or update. In debug mode I can see the Total count returned is correct. Doing a refresh (and thus calling the regular _SejectAjaxBinding) restores the paging. Any idea what could be going on?

Hi Paul den Dulk,

Is there a chance to send us a sample project illustrating the problem you are experiencing? You can use some free file hosting web site (dropbox.com, skydrive.live.com etc) to share the project with us.

Hi Atanas,

We are having the same issue paul is facing.

We need to do custom binding with editing capabilities (Ajax). On the controller side, it is not right to return all the rows from the db, as per your sample project, especially when you have tables with millions of records. Therefore, we proceed with custom binding mechanism where you only request 10 rows, for example, from the db server instead of requesting millions of rows each time you need to post data to the server.

Please let us have, if possible, a project including custom binding with editing capabilities fetching only the required data from the database for each post request.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hello Paul,

I think you forgot to include [GridAction(EnableCustomBinding = true)] attribute for the relevant action.

Cheers
