RadGrid Calling ClientDataSource 3 times per request

[Jason]

I'm hoping this is a silly error

this is the markup

<telerik:RadClientDataSource ID="ClaimsDataSource" runat="server" EnableServerPaging="true" EnableServerSorting="true" AllowPaging="true"  >
    <DataSource>
        <WebServiceDataSourceSettings BaseUrl="http://localhost:39338/" >
            <Select Url="ui/list/claims" RequestType="Get" DataType="JSON" EnableCaching="true"  />
        </WebServiceDataSourceSettings>
    </DataSource>
    <Schema DataName="Data">
        <Model>
            <telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="DateofLoss" DataType="Date" />
        </Model>
    </Schema>
</telerik:RadClientDataSource>

<telerik:RadGrid ID="grdCLaims" runat="server" ClientDataSourceID="ClaimsDataSource" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="2" AllowSorting="true"  >
    <MasterTableView ClientDataKeyNames="ClaimItemID" DataKeyNames="ClaimItemID">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="PolicyNumber" HeaderText="Policy Number" />
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ClientName" HeaderText="Client" />
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="DateofLoss" HeaderText="Date of Loss" DataFormatString="{0:dd MMM yyyy}" />
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
    <ClientSettings>
        <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
        <Scrolling AllowScroll="true" UseStaticHeaders="true" />
    </ClientSettings>
</telerik:RadGrid>

 

this is the JSON that the service is returning

{
   "Data":[
      {
         "ClientName":"Ethan McWindsor",
         "PolicyNumber":"PUMA100558",
         "DateofLoss":"2015-12-09T00:00:00",
         "ClaimItemID":256,
      },
      {
         "ClientName":"Ethan McWindsor",
         "PolicyNumber":"PUMA100558",
         "DateofLoss":"2016-11-25T00:00:00",
         "ClaimItemID":413,
      }
   ],
   "Count":2
}

no matter what i do, the service is getting called three times on the in initial page load

from the network log in chrome

http://localhost:39338/ui/list/claims?take=2&skip=0&page=1&pageSize=2

http://localhost:39338/ui/list/claims?take=2&skip=0&page=1&pageSize=2

http://localhost:39338/ui/list/claims?take=10&skip=0&page=1&pageSize=10

 

(there is nothing in the code-behind)

any ideas?

fixed it by adding PageSize="2" to the RadClientDataSource.

Hi Jason,

The described behavior is a known issue which is logged in our System and can be accessed in our Feedback Portal at Grid with RadClientDataSource sends two requests when navigating with Grid pager.

Alternatively to the solution you have found, you may also check out the following Code Library: Retrieve filtered data from RadClientDataSource using RadGrid's event. This may also be a viable workaround for the reported issue.

Kind regards,
