Telerik RadGrid - Issue with Reorder columns and postback

[Mark]

Hi,

We have an issue with the Telerik RadGrid which we believe is linked to this post:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/horizontalalign-on-client-columns-reorder.aspx

We have a custom Command Item Template which contains buttons that are shown or hidden within the grid pre render event.

When reordering the columns and then clicking anything that forces an autopost back, the buttons within the command item template are all shown.

I have included a checkbox below our grid:

<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chk_box" AutoPostBack="True"/>

Clicking this after reordering the columns causes the show/hide in our pre render not to have an effect on the visibility of the buttons.

The above post mentions "This is because, with client column reorder, RadGrid rebinds implicitly on the next postback." Is this a bug with the RadGrid and if so has it been fixed?

Please note that setting RadGrid.MasterTableView.ClientSettings.ReorderColumnsOnClient = "false" does not fix the issue for us.

This is an urgent issue for us and any help would be very much appreciated,

Thanks,
Ryan

Have same issue of reordering grid columns. We are saving the reordered columns as XSD in database and on page load setting the grid column orders with saved order.
Earlier this functionality was working fine but not sure why this re-ordering is broken.
We did upgrade our telerik dlls from 2012 to 2014 but that seems to be working fine in production. Have included one sample project to see the xsd values assigned to grid columns and still column order is not affected. **Here is the project.

Please provide some solution to fix this issue.

Could someone please provide an update on this?

Hello Vishu,

The latest version of the RadGrid control supports settings persistence only using the RadPersistenceFramework.

Therefore I would suggest you to change your logic by using the framework as shown in the online demo below:
