Changing data source data after bind
posted

I have a WebDataGrid (new 2009 vol 2 version) on an ASP.NET form (VB.NET). I have the EnableDataViewState turned on so that the table remembers the data between postbacks. However, I have an option on the screen that 'adds' more empty data rows onto the end of the table. In other words:

  • I load the table, set the WebDataGrid datasource to the table, and bind (DataBind) it.
  • After the page is displayed, the user clicks a postback button to tells the system to add some blank rows onto the end of the table.

I then retrieve the database (which I saved in session state), add the required number of rows onto the end of the datatable, and then attempt to rebind the table to the grid, as so:

                    wdgEntries.ClearDataSource()
                    wdgEntries.DataSource = dtEntries
                    wdgEntries.DataBind()

What is happening is that as soon as the DataBind occurs, I get an Object reference not found error, as shown below. Even if I don't add new rows, but change the data and attempt to rebind, I still get this same error. Why is this occuring? It would seem that once I clear the data source and then bind, it should be using the updated data table (and I did check in debug mode - the data table is correct and has rows in it).

Below is the error... Any help/advice? Thanks.
