Hi Tenika,

We recommended you to use e.DataSource = dt; instead of WebGrid1.DataSource = dt; and then placed it in WebGrid1_InitializeDataSource event. Also, you don't need to add code WebGrid1.ClearCachedDataSource(); and WebGrid1.Databind();

Below is an attachment of my simple sample on how to bind from server side that we recommended. Please find a file name BindServerSide.rar. You could use this method when you want to create server side binding.

I hope this can help.

Julia,

I know how to bind to the WebGrid when I'm modifying the grid but like I mentioned above this is modifying the data OUTSIDE of the gird.

<asp:dropdownlist id="ddlList" runat="server"></asp:dropdownlist>

<asp:textbox id="txtValue" runat="Server"></asp:textbox>

<asp:button id="btnSave" runat="Server"  onclick="btnSave_Click"></asp:button>

<ISWebGrid:WebGrid ID="WebGrid1" runat="server" Height="600px" UseDefaultStyle="false" Width="100%" OnInitializeDataSource="WebGrid1_InitializeDataSource"
OnPrepareDataBinding="WebGrid1_PrepareDataBinding" oninitializelayout="WebGrid1_InitializeLayout"
oninitializerow="WebGrid1_InitializeRow" onbatchupdate="WebGrid1_BatchUpdate">

</ISWebGrid:WebGrid>

..

protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, Event Args e)

{

    DatSet ds = SaveDataReturnsNewDataSet(ddlList.SelectedValue, txtValue.Text);

    if (ds != null) {

         WebGrid1.DataSource = ds;

         WebGrid1.DataBind();

    }

}

This is what I'm looking for...

Hi Tenika,

If you want to bind the data, you need to put the code inside InitializeDataSource event. As well for modified outside of the grid, you could use this code to refresh the data :

protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataSet ds = SaveDataReturnsNewDataSet(DropDownList1.SelectedValue, TextBox1.Text);
        if (ds != null)
        {
            WebGrid1.ClientAction.Refresh();
        }

    }

The code will InitializeDataSource and get the latest data.

Julia
