We have a webdatagrid.We are trying to add multiple rows to the grid on the client side by means of the client side method :
function
callCostCenterSuccess(res) {
var sArray = res.split("||")
var grid = $find('BaseCostCenterHGrid');
for (var i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
var ccAttributes = sArray[i].split("~");
if (ccAttributes.length > 1) {
var newValues = new Array(ccAttributes[0], ccAttributes[1], ccAttributes[2]);
grid.get_gridView().get_rows().add(newValues);
}
CloseDialog(dialogCostCenter);
We are calling the client side add method in a for loop.
What we see is that the entire loop gets executed but only the last row gets added to the grid.
Is there any way we can get over this problem?
Hi divyaramesh,
When you call grid.get_rows().add(), the grid immediately causes a postback (ajax or full page depending upon enable ajax) the same as if the row had been added from the row adding behavior. What you're probably looking for is batch updating. This will be available in 11.2. Another option would be to turn on client rendering. You could add your new row to the client data source of the grid and rebind. Then you will see the row. You would simply have to log the action and do the add on the next postback. Or use your own ajax call and do the insert from JavaScript.

Hello David,
We are relying heavily on these controls.
Can you please provide me examples for your suggestion.
This is a showstopper for us.
If you dont provide us a solution, we ll have to remove these controls all together as we are in heavy need of this functionality.
best,
divya
You are simply not giving the grid any data on the client to bind to. That is what this code is for.
var newRow = new Object();
newRow.Id = 100 + x;
ds[ds.length] = newRow;
That is what will be shown when you call applyClientBinding. So simply set up the object with the appropriate properties. It is doing it in two places- one to have the grid show it and the other to have the grid perform the database insert at the postback.

Hey please tell me how we can do the same thing for hierarchical grid?
Hello Divya,
Batch updating in the WebHierarchicalDataGrid will be available in our 11.2 release. At this time, there is no way to implement this behavior in the WebHierarchicalDataGrid. You will be able to use this behavior once the 11.2 version is released.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance with this matter.
That is sad.
Is ther a work around for the time being to do batch updating on client for whdg?
And when is 11.2 releasing?
The best approach at this time is to wait for 11.2. There currently is no workaround for this issue in the WebHierarchicalDataGrid because the settings to enable this won't be available until 11.2.
As for the release of 11.2, we currently do not have a date I can provide. However, if you check the Infragistics Product Lifecycle webpage (http://es.infragistics.com/support/product-lifecycle.aspx) you can see that historically the x.2/x.3 release for a year has come out around October. While I recommend checking for the release around that time, please note that it may be later in the year.
