I doubt you can refresh the grid without postback.

hi
how can it be done?
I beleieve 99% it cant be done..

A datagrid represents data from a datasource.
The datasource is on the server.
If you wish to refresh it then I assume the data for the grid is to change.

You can not change the data in the datasource or rebind the grid on the client.

Tell us why you dont want to do postback.

Well, you can, using client side callbacks. Search Google for client side callbacks .NET and you'll find some useful results:

It's not easy to get it cross-browser, and it can be a bit tricky, but once it works, it's a wonderful concept.

I stand corrected, my apologies.
I was aware of the js call back function but had not really considered updating an entire datagrid with it.
Thanks Imar for that, I have a use for that myself.

Hi!
friends i know that it can be done in asp2.2 but i want it in asp.net1.x which is possible by some object HTTPXML or what ever..
if some of you have any work around about this problem....
(PROBLEM: i have a massive datagrid and when i will update the row the page will post back and will cause performance hit ...)

ashfaq

I am not sure what you're asking here. What work around do you need? What's wrong with the XML object?

Imar

Dear imar!
Actually datagrid is having huge data and updating each row causes data bnding which is tooooo expensive..can u help in a work around that if i use the iframe which will only contain the message like "record saved sucessfully etc" and i postback that page in iframe instead of page having datagrid...in this way database will update...and the grid will be updated at client side...
i have a code which updates the label after 3 seconds without post back but i dont know what should i do with datagrid binding at client side.


ashfaq

First of all, I wouldn't bind huge amounts of data to a datagrid.
Displaying all that data once causes usability and performance issues. Why not have a smart stored procedure that only retrieves, say 10 rows and then display those rows in a DataGrid with paging?

Otherwise, client side call backs are the answer. They allow you to "post back" to the server, update the database. Then you can manually update the row in the grid with the data the user provided (as opposed to the true data stored in the database).

Did you experiment with client side call backs? Did you try any of the examples? Are you having specific questions, or problems with certain code?

Cheers,

Imar
