Recommended approach for loading / updating data to the grid?

[Peter]

What is your recommended approach for loading / updating the datasource.

calling databoundgrid.BeginLoadData() still does not suspend the grid. What is the best approach for accomplishing this?

tia,

I am not sure what you want to suspend. There is no method named BeginLoadData in GridDataBoundGrid.

If you want to suspend drawing the grid, try using grid.BeginUpdate/grid.EndUpdate.

If you want to suspend the binding to the datasource while you work on the datasource, try grid.Binder.SuspendBinding/grid.Binder.ResumeBinding to see if that does what you need. (Note - this is broken in some of the 2.0 betas, but should be fixed in the upcoming release.)

grid.Binder.SuspendBinding()grid.Binder.ResumeBinding()
