How to prevent the grid to databind?
posted

Hello,

I have two webgrid, depending on a checkbox, one is visible and the other one is not visible.
However, the event DataBinding is hit for both grid all the time which is not good for the performance.

When I debug my code I can see that it always go first to the databinding event and then to the "Checkchanged" event of my checkbox where I set the visibility of each grid to true or false.

How can I prevent  a grid from databinding?
Thanks

    If you don't want to databind WebGrid, you need to avoid doing three things:

    • Don't handle the InitializeDataSource event.  If you handle this event, The grid will implicitly call the DataBind() method once the event finishes.
    • Don't connect a DataSource object (such as SqlDataSource or ObjectDataSource) to your grid using the grid's DataSourceID property at design-time.  If this property is set to point to a valid DataSource control, the grid will databind to it early in the page lifecycle.
    • Don't call the DataBind() method of the grid.
