I've found what seems to be a nasty bug in the DataGrid and Repeater
classes. If CreateChildCont rols gets called before LoadViewState,
ViewState fails to map and you end up with nothing on a Postback.
Please try the following test, and let me know if you can reproduce
this:
- Create a custom DataGrid or Repeater class that does nothing but
derive from one of the above and gives a place to put breakpoints in
overriden handlers
- Create a simple test case on a WebForm. I use template columns, but
BoundColumns might work as well.
- Create something in your DataGrid/Repeater that posts back, like a
LinkButton in a HeaderTemplate.
- Only DataBind if it's not a PostBack
- Put an EnsureChildCont rols at the beginning of OnInit in your custom
DataGrid/Repeater
When I click on the LinkButton, I get no output at all. Put
breakpoints in OnInit, LoadViewState, and CreateChildCont rols of your
custom class. If CreateChildCont rols gets called before LoadViewState,
nothing maps and there's no output. Now, if you take
EnsureChildCont rols out of OnInit, and your test is simple, you'll see
LoadViewState happen before CreateChildCont rols and everything will
work wonderfully.
Why is that? That's exactly opposite from everything I've learned so
far concerning server controls. Usually, the earlier you re-create all
your controls the better for mapping events, ViewState, etc. Why are
these framework controls different? I can't avoid having my controls
created early in my big application because I usually put
EnsureChildCont rols in all my Properties, etc, like I thought was good
practice. Are DataGrids and Repeaters doomed to fail with these
practices?
I've considered finding a workaround. I even considered calling
LoadViewState at the beginning of CreateChildCont rols on a PostBack,
but I haven't tried it yet because I don't know if it would be safe to
do it even if it's possible. Any help or input on why this is
happening or any hacks or workarounds will be very welcome.

I am trying to use a datagrid to pull information from a database. I prefer
to use latebinding to this. Well, I finally got my information to populate
the datagrid, but the information came out in a table format. Is there a way
that I can make the datagrid use list box or some other kind of grid?
Perhaps I am using the wrong components. Someone please help.

I am using the OnItemDataBound event of Repeater control to nest a
DataGrid within the Repeater. When I attempt to bind to the DataGrid
using the DataSource method I get the error message "Object reference
not set to an instance of an object". This error message commonly
occurs when a server control is incorrecly declared, so naturally I
have double checked this.
To test this, I moved the aspx code for the DataGrid

Hi All,
I have a functioning datagrid on "Page 1" that displays order information

LoadViewState is taking a long time on a page, the bigger the dataset the
longer the wait and also it takes longer on remote server than local host.
EnableViewState is FALSE and when I examine the viewstate size for the
datagrid in trace it is ZERO.
But the view state string is very long :|
What the heck is going on here ? ViewState gurus neeeded.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
