Web DataGrid

[kpg]

Hi all,

First, let me tell you I am confused by the different choices of
newsgroups. I see no newsgroups that deal with webapps and
winapps differently, but I see them as two very different things
even if the language is vb.net.

Anyway, I have a Web App DataGrid question. It should be simple.

Drop a datagrid on a web form, set datasource, call databind, it works.
Set AllowPaging, set up the page change event as follows:
dgPolicies.CurrentPageIndex = e.NewPageIndex

dgPolicies.DataBind()

When I click on a 'page' link my code is run but I see NOTHING!

How can I get the control to re-display itself with the next page data????

TIA

You need to get the data to bind to in your code. Calling DataBind without
specifying the DataSource property results in an empty grid.

dgPolicies.DataSource = myDataSource;
dgPolicies.DataBind()

No, sorry, that does not work.

I set the datasource in the page load event and the grid displays just
fine. Even if I reset the datasource in the page change event I still
get a blank page after I click one of the navigation buttons.

Now I don't re-query the datatable that I use as a datasource, I just
re-assign the one I queried in the page load event.

Do I have to requery the database again? That does not seem right.
If I were going to do that I would just through away the grid and do
it myself.

Below is my code. I added the session variable just to test the need
to re-set the data source.

<page load>
'code to load dtDataDtable
Session("MyTable") = dtDataTable
dgPolicies.DataSource = dtDataTable
dgPolicies.DataBind()
<\page load>

<page change>
dgPolicies.DataSource = Session("MyTable")
dgPolicies.CurrentPageIndex = e.NewPageIndex
dgPolicies.DataBind()
<\page change>

the above code results in a blank page after navigating to the
next page of the data grid (it has 23 pages).

Nervermind...

After playing around with the sorting I had created a new
session variable to hold the DataView and when I set that
in the Page change event it does work. I reverted to the
datatable and it also works...

thanks.
