SEO Paging and DataKeyValues

[Howard Etheridge]

I noticed several things when specifying SEO paging. In the ItemDataBound event, the ItemIndex does not correspond to the DataKeyValues. DataKeyValues always start with the first record of your datasource. The CurrentPageIndex is always 0. I'm not sure if this is a bug or something i am not doing correctly.

As a work around i had to write this code to get the datakey:

           int currepagepageindex = 1;
            int itemindex = 0;

            if (Request.QueryString[GrdProducts.ClientID + "ChangePage"] != null)
                currepagepageindex = int.Parse(Request.QueryString[GrdProducts.ClientID + "ChangePage"]);
            
            
            itemindex = currepagepageindex * GrdProducts.PageSize - GrdProducts.PageSize + e.Item.ItemIndex;
            if (itemindex < ((DataTable)GrdProducts.DataSource).Rows.Count)
            {
                inventoryid = (int)((DataTable)GrdProducts.DataSource).Rows[itemindex]["inventoryid"];
            }

another issue, this only occurs when you navigate to next or previous pages:

 ASP.fulfillment_controls_productimage_ascx ProductImage1 = (ASP.fulfillment_controls_productimage_ascx)e.Item.FindControl("ProductImage1");


// this does not work, setting properties have no effect on child controls
ProductImage1.visible = true;

//or this:
ProductImage1.ImageUrl = "someimage.jpg";

I think this has something to do with the CurrentPageIndex being 0.

Hello Howard,

I suppose you set Pager style to MasterTableView. If my assumption right?

To attain the functionality you are searching for, you need to set Pager style to RadGrid.

Here is a code snippet describing this approach:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="Server">
<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" EnableSEOPaging="True" ></PagerStyle>
...
<MasterTableView>...</MasterTableView>
...
</telerik:RadGrid>

Thus the paging will work properly and all issues which you described so far should be resolved.
I just want to specify that ItemIndex has nothing in common with DataKeyValues. The ItemIndex is the index of the current created item which is actually GridRow. DataKeyValues, on other hand, is the values for the specified DataKeyNames of these rows. In your case the "inventoryID".

Below is a code excerpts which shows how to get DataKeyValues:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

{

var DataKeysArray = ((GridDataItem)e.Item).OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues;

}

}

I hope this explanation is helpful.

Thank you for the response, I tried it on another test page and it appears to be working.
