RadGrid not refreshing

[Dan]

I have a grid with an form template for editing and adding.  The grid also has a deletebutton column to delete rows.  All the events are firing but the grid doesn't refresh after itemcommand completes its work after an insert, update or delete is performed on the database.  I've stepped through the code and rebind() is being called.  We bind to a list of objects.

This is the behavior I'm experiencing

Clicking Add
The edit form opens, I enter the data and press Save.  The data saves, the form does not close.  I then click Cancel, the form closes and the grid refreshes without a full postback,

Clicking the Edit icon in the row

The edit form opens, I modify the data and press Save. The data saves, the form does close (but only because I included Me.rgAccountGroupAuthorizations.MasterTableView.ClearEditItems()  The grid does not refresh.  If I click Cancel the form closes and the grid doesn't refresh.

Clicking the Delete icon in the row
After confirmation, the data is deleted but the grid doesn’t refresh.

I've isolated the code on its own page.  The page doesn't have any ajax proxy (we use master pages)  We would really prefer to use the form template feature rather than a custom edit page or user control. 

Here is the markup and codebehind

Hi Dan,

I have examined the provided code, however it would be hard to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. In order to narrow the search would you try to disable AJAX by setting the EnableAjax property of RadAjaxManager to false. Check if there will be a server-side error thrown after this.

Additionally, in order to hide the InsertForm you can set the IsItemInserted property of the MasterTableView to false.

Moreover, would you try to use the default "Update" and "PerformInsert" commands. You can handle the custom logic using the OnUpdateCommand and OnInsertCommand events. Note that Update and Insert commands invoke Rebind() implicitly, you do not need to manually rebind RadGrid.

Check out the following resources for additional information on the matter:

• Commands that invoke Rebind() implicitly

I disabled Ajax, it had no effect.  I initially used the default command names and thought that might have been the issue which is why I changed them.  I did use them again and it had no effect.  Using OnUpdateCommand and OnInsertCommand had no effect.  The only suggestion that worked was setting IsItemInserted to false after an insert.

Hello Dan,

I am afraid that it would be hard to determine the exact cause of the issue without replicating it locally. Would you send us a runnable sample where the problem is replicated? This will enable us to investigate the issue locally and look for its cause.

You can open a support ticket and send the project as attachment.

For anyone who wants to rebind grid from inside ItemCommand, instead of calling Rebind, just call DataBind like this:

RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(null, null);
RadGrid1.DataBind();

 

[Jalal]

Instead of calling RadGrid1.Rebind, call it like this:

RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(null, null);
RadGrid1.DataBind();
