datapager for programatic listview

digink · May 31st, 2010, 02:33 PM

Hey Imar,

I was searching through your book to see if I could find a solution to this, but I didn't seem to find it in there hopefully you can help me.

I am setting the datasource of my list view programatically (in the code behind), and due to this the datapager I am trying to use doesn't seem to be working as it would in the book (when you assign the datasource of the listview via the menus within visual web developer). The buttons do appear but they do nothing but just refresh the page (cause a post back).

Do you have any idea on what I could do here?

Thanks

When I try to just throw a datapager onto the page and assign it to the Listview I'm defining in the code I get this error:

Code:

Invalid postback or callback argument.  Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page.  For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them.  If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.

Have you tried wrapping the assignment of your data in a !PostBack block? E.g.

Code:

 
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
  // get data here
  myControl.DataSource = yourData;
  myControl.DataBind();
}

Hope this helps,

Imar

I tried that but it still causes some strange behavior, like the first time NEXT is clicked nothing happens to the data, but after that it displays the second page. And I am never able to come back to the previous page.

Do you have any idea if there is any other controls I can use? I kind of want to do something where I dont need a datapager but maybe some sort of java that just has a scroll type feature? That way I can just have all the data loaded on page_load like i'm doing now and use some sort of AJAX to have a scroller.

I got it to work Imar, thanks again for the suggestions.

Incase you're curious, I had to add the same data definition for the list view to the ListView1_PagePropertiesChanged event and it is working beautifully.

Thanks again!
