For some reason when I enable the callback feature of the gridview I still get a page refresh, that is it seems like there is a postback that occurs, not a callback which is just supposed to update not the whole page, but a portion of the page. Strangely enough the URL below http://beta.asp.net/QUICKSTARTV20/aspnet/doc/ctrlref/data/gridview.aspx (VB GridView Paging and Sorting Callbacks example)

Hi, I started a new web application which so far has several grdiviews displaying data. I find myself reimplementing the same logic (copy/pasting really) in grid's event ItemDataBound and RowCreated and Sorting events to add certain effects. For example inserting sorting direction image to the column header. I want to create one custom grid view that implement all this logic to be reused through out this app, so I wont need to copy...

The default paging behavior of the gridview doesn't work well with very large sets of data which means we have to implement some sort of custom paging. The examples I have seen (4guysfromrolla, etc.) suggest using an ObjectDataSource which has built-in paging functionality that, when used in conjunction with certain SQL 2005 functionality, only works with the records to be displayed on the page rather than the entire set. The problem with...

hi, I have a gridview which is bound to ObjectDataSource which in turn reads from a business objects methods for custom paged data. When PageIndex is set to any value other than 0 and one of the column headers is clicked for sorting, the pageindex gets reset to 0. I tried to debug it . the PageIndex property of gridview stays the same in the Sorting event of gridview, but I see it changes to 0 in the Selecting event of the...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
