Rebind data from server?

[realtekParticipant]

Hi,

I have a grid which has a variable in a dataAdapter which can be changed when a Tree Item is selected, I would like to rebind the datasource by sending the request back to server which returns the new results to the grid.

What would be the best method to re-send the request to the server (like it did when the grid was loaded).

I have tried ‘refreshdata’, ‘render’, ‘refresh’

But nothing seems to send the origional request….

Thanks

I have also tried:

dataAdapter.dataBind();

hmm, dataAdapter.dataBind() is resending the new request which is good.

But the data isn’t reflected in the Grid… could the refresh be happening to the grid before the data is returned from the server?

OK, sorted.

I’m not sure if it is a bug or the way my code is but if the data that is provided when the grid is first loaded on the page is empty (i.e returns no rows), and you then reset the source it does NOT populate the grid.

However, if the initial set of data returned does provide some rows and you then change the source, it works.

So it sounds like its because no cells are actually created in the Grid if nothing is returned, therefore it cannot render it correctly.

Is this a bug?

After adding some more data in my source, I can confirm you get the rows in the Grid each time you reset the source but it does not set the cells.
