I have a datalist tied to an ObjectDataSource that retrieves data out of a custom function located in my BLL. This function retrieves data from the db and supports caching. When the cached data is loaded back into the ods, the ods Selected event does not trigger anymore (fires ok for "fresh data").

From what I have read, it seems that ods events are disabled for cached data. Is this true? If so, is there a work-around? The ods Selected event is used to update the datalist navigation links. Thanks for any pointers.

Hi,

When we use catching with grid view or data list which is bound to objectdatasource, and select method is in business logic then it not fired for next upload event of page and data in grid is not refreshed.

You are right that ods select method is not called when we use catching.. then wt next

Possible option is disable catching and go for regular way of calling bind method of gridview or datalist control which will invoke select method.

Or try cache depedency if you konw about it.

Thanks, but this would precisely defeat the purpose of caching the data if a new db access is made! I just want to update the navigation links whenever a page is retrieved from the cache.

For "fresh" data, the ods triggers the Select event; in case of caching, it stops firing up. I tried datalist binding to no avail. I guess an option would be to raise the ods Selected event. Some sample code on doing this is hard to find though.
