I'm trying witout any luck to find usefull documentation to the CSOM of the WebDataGrid.
all the documentation over there is lacking therefor useless.
I want simply bind the WebDataGrid into data sources in the client using the CSOM.
I can't warp the WebDataGrid with ASP.NET UpdatePanel cause this will
result a full page life cycle which can't be allowed in Real Time Web Aapplication
that refresh the grid every 3 seconds (also the page is havey).
we want pure AJAX binding.
is there any way doing so?
Hi Uri,
At the moment, the WebDataGrid supports only server side databinding. We will be adding client-side binding in future release. Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to do. Is your data coming in as JSON/XML, are you getting the entire dataset everytime on the client and want the grid to bind to it, or getting just updated cell values and want the grid to reflect that?
-Taz.
I will implement it acurding to the WebDataGrid limitaitions.
the best way doing so will be in calling AJAX Web Service from the client
with JSON/XML results. then bind it to the grid, I think the best advntage of AJAX controls is
the ability to render themself in the client.
this is extremly importent for real time apllications like stock view and customers termials indicators.
(btw Dev Express implement this option in there grid)
anyway, because this option isn't available at the moment I could update spacific cell with value.
1)please provide me JS example for reflecting values to cells with CSOM?
2) when the release expected?
To set a cell value you can do something like this:$find("WebDataGrid1").get_rows().get_row(0).get_cell(0).set_value("new value");
thank I will try this.
when we should expect the next release that will support client binding?
I'd be very interested in client side data bind method too.
Can't guaranttee anything at the moment, but you should see something around client data-binding in 2010.
