Problem with partial rendering

[John]

Hello,

I have a RadGrid displaying data about orders (id, customer's name, firstname, etc) where each row is expandable. When a row is expanded, additional information contained in an ascx component is being shown. My problem is that the whole grid is actually fully reloaded each time a row is being expanded! (I noticed this behavior by displaying current datetime inside the component).

Am I missing some obvious settings?

aspx:

<telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="RadScriptManager1" EnablePartialRendering="true" />
    <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="griOrders">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="griOrders" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
    <telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" />
    <telerik:RadGrid ID="griOrders" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowSorting="True"

                <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Date" HeaderText="Date" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                    DataField="Date" UniqueName="Date" DataType="System.DateTime" ItemStyle-Width="80px"
                    FilterControlWidth="60px">

                    DataField="TTC" UniqueName="TTC" DataType="System.Decimal" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right"
                    ItemStyle-Width="70px" FilterControlWidth="50px">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Nom Prénom" HeaderText="Nom Prénom" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

            </Columns>
        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

Code Behind

protected void griOrders_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

    {

        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExpandCollapseCommandName && e.Item is GridDataItem)

        {

            ((GridDataItem)e.Item).ChildItem.FindControl("InnerContainer").Visible = !e.Item.Expanded;

        }

    }

Thanks for your help!

Hi John,

Actually the described behaviour is expected in this case. In order to avoid this behaviour I would suggest you to set the HierarchyLoadMode for the RadGrid to "client" for more information on this matter see the help topic below:
