How to force page postback on add new row with ajax enabled
posted

 I have ajax enabled on my grid. I'd like to force a full page postback after a new row is added. Is there a way to do this?

    There are a couple of ways I can think of off the top of my head.  The first would be to use the BeforeXMLHTTPRequest client-side event that the WebGrid fires before any AJAX interaction - http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/NET/2008.3/CLR3.5 

    When you handle this event, you can cancel the request if the action was a new row added, and call __doPostBack manually instead.

    The second option would be to handle this from the server-side.  When you handle the RowAdded server-side event, emit a scriptblock that calls __doPostBack on the client-side.  This would force the client to first complete the add asynchronously, and then perform a full postback. 

    Hope this helps,

    -Tony

    Ok, tried #1. Strange thing is that BeforeXMLHTTPRequest only seems to fire for Updates but not when a new row is inserted. The following function would only give me hi7 (update) and no hi5(add new row):

    function BeforeXmlHttpRequest(gridName, type) { alert('hi' + type); }

    Also tried dopostback with ClientSideEvents-AfterRowInsertHandler. It would indeed postback when I clicked on the Add Row button but won't give me a new row after the postback.

    Sorry don't know where/how exactly to handle the RowAdded server-side event? Is there any sample code. Right now my aspx.vb page just has an empty sub:

        Protected Sub UltraWebGrid1_AddRow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.RowEventArgs) Handles UltraWebGrid1.AddRow

        End Sub

     Any code I put in there doesn't do anything.

    Thanks for trying to help out Tony!

    P.S. Is there a way to initiate rowupdate from the ClientSideEvents-AfterRowInsertHandler? Then I could immediately do a postback after update.
