Unable to Filter Grid when setting DataSource in Code behind

[Civbaron]

Hi,

I was trying to get the example of simple filtering working that is located at this location http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/filtering/defaultcs.aspx. I was able to get it working without too much trouble. The issue is that when I removed the 'DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1' from the Grid and used code in the Page_Load method to set the Datasource of the grid the filtering did not work. I set the datasource to be a list of ints. I have also tried using the NeedDataSource event of the grid itself to populate the grid, but again the grid will be populated but when I go to filter it doesn't filter.  Here is sample of the code I am using to set the datasource of the grid:

SqlCommand sql =

new SqlCommand();

 

SqlDataAdapter da =

new SqlDataAdapter();

 

 

string connectionString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SBF"].ToString();

 

SqlConnection con =

new SqlConnection(connectionString);

 

 

//ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[connectionString]

 

con.ConnectionString = connectionString;

sql.CommandText =

@"select A from SSA";

 

sql.Connection = con;

da.SelectCommand = sql;

DataTable dt =

new DataTable();

 

 

List<int> ints = new List<int>();

 

da.Fill(dt);

 

for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)

 

{

ints.Add(

Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i]["A"]));

 

 

}

RadGrid1.DataSource = ints;

I am using the 2009.3.1208.35 version of the Telerik.Web.UI.

Thanks,
Jonathan Simon

Hi Jonathan,

In order to make sure that the control's functionalities are executed as expected, it is necessary to bind the control by using NeedDataSource:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdadvanceddatabinding.html

or a datasource control:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grddeclarativedatasource.html

Setting the datasource in any other event, or calling .DataBind() for the control directly would not allow it to function as expected.
I hope this information helps.

Sincerely yours,
