... and paging seems to be the best way to handle this.

But if we do paging, we are losing filtering and sorting.

Paging is recommended to load large data in WebGrid.

We have a sample of WebGrid, ClientBinding_Paging.aspx. WebGrid supports both VirtualLoad and ClassicPaging for data paging when using ServerDataSource and client data services such as WebService, WcfService and AdoDataService. This sample shows WebGrid with classic paging which seamlessly retrieves data from Web service.

Filtering, sorting, and grouping works without problem in this sample. You can visit the live version of the sample in here.

Please let me know if you have other considerations.

Crosslight 5.0.5000.706 assembly is built using 23.1.1. The Crosslight.Xamarin.Android.Support 23.4.0.1 will be supported in the newer Crosslight assembly.

Hope this helps.

Could you please let me know if you are updating Crosslight.Xamarin.Android.Support.xxx from 23.1.1 to a newer version (23.4.0 or 23.4.0.1)?

I enclosed a project created with Crosslight Project Wizard. The project is created using "Navigation Drawer" as template and I only create for Android with the default settings. I have upgraded the NuGet packages of the solution to the latest stable version which is 5.0.5000.706.

Please have the attached project built on your end and let me know if the problem still persist or not.

Sorry for any inconvenience this problem may have caused you.

In order to resolve the problem, we need to add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription keys in info.plist file. This key is required for the location service.

This change has been pushed to Crosslight git. Please have the modified sample re-test on your end and let me know if the problem still persist.

I havn't tested it, but maybe there is the same problem on Android.

Per my test, the same problem doesn't happen on Android.

The clear icon is a small "x" button added by IE to all input elements when they are focused. What this button does is to clear the content of the input element.

I can replicate the reported problem in the live sample by following the step-by-step in your initial post. However, I got different result when testing the same sample file locally.

The clear icon doesn't appear. I'm using WebGrid 10 (10.0.7200.24), WebInput 5 (5.0.7200.268), and WebUI.NET Framework 3.0 (3.0.5000.975).

Could you please try to test the sample locally (using the latest build of WebGrid 10, WebInput 5, and WebUI.NET Framework 3.0) and let me know the result? The new Custom Editor Types sample of WebGrid has handle the appearance of the x button. The "Order Date" column uses WebInput as its editor type.

Can you let me know if there is any way to hide the "x icon" in the webinput?

You can style the ::-ms-clear pseudo-element for the box. Example:

#ctl00_content_wiExtension::-ms-clear
{
    display: none;

}

Hope this helps.
