Rad Scheduler: When do you bind data?

[rjb227s]

Hello,

I am running VQ3 2009 with hotfixes.  I'm having trouble with databinding the scheduler. 

1. I am binding the data in the server side code by querying my appointments table. 
2. I traverse the datatable of appointments and build a generic list of <Appointment> objects. 
3. I then set the datasource of thescheduler to the generic list.

I first put this code in the PageLoad() event, but though the data showed in the scheduler just fine, it seemed to cause issues with the navigation pane's calendar popup.

I then moved the code to the PageInit() event.  I get unpredictable behavior now where sometimes when i open the page, the scheduler does not contain data, but when I refresh it finally shows the appointments. 

Questions:
1. Where should I put my server side data binding statement?
2. Should it be wrapped in an "If(!IsPostBack)" call?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hello Ryan,

Actually, there is an online demo - Binding to Generic List, which you can use for reference.
