ViewStateMode

I am trying to enable ASP.NET ViewState maintenance for grid control but with no luck. No matter what i do, grid looses it's data after postback - on button click. I do not want to rebind grid after each postback.
Please help me how to maintain Grid ViewState.

ASPX

<asp:Button ID="cmd" runat="server" Text="test" OnClick="cmd_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" />

<ej:Grid ID="gvList" runat="server" OnServerRecordClick="gvList_ServerRecordClick" SkinID="List" ViewStateMode="Enabled" AllowPaging="true">
<Columns>
<ej:Column HeaderText="Id" Field="id" IsPrimaryKey="True" TextAlign="Center" Width="50"></ej:Column>
<ej:Column HeaderText="Name" Field="name"></ej:Column>
<ej:Column HeaderText="Description" Field="description"></ej:Column>
</Columns>
</ej:Grid>

Code Behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
BindList();
}

private void BindList()
{
gvList.DataSource = DAL.GetData();
gvList.DataBind();
}

protected void cmd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lbl.Text = "grid viewstate test";
}

Hi Egi,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

We have analyzed your reported issue and we suggest you to use the EnablePersistence property in the Grid. Please find the below code snippet.

<asp:Content runat="server" ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">

<asp:Button ID="cmd" runat="server" Text="test" OnClick="cmd_Click" />

<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" />


<ej:Grid ID="Grid" runat="server" AllowPaging="true" EnablePersistence="True">


. . . . . .


</ej:Grid>
</asp:Content>


If we set the EnablePersistence property as true, it will maintain the grid model state and no need to rebind the dataSource for each postback. Please refer the below code snippet.


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

BindList();

}




Please refer the sample for further details:

Please let us know if you have any queries.

Hi Balaji,

thank you for your answer and attached sample. When i run this sample on my dev machine grid is not rebinded on button click grid says "No records to display". My dev machine is Win 7 Pro, VS 2013 Community + integrated IIS and different browsers (latest Chrome, IE 8, 11, latest FF).

What to do now?

This is source of postback page after button click:

Hi Egi,

We are sorry about the inconvenience caused.

We have missed to include the code, which is necessary for the requirement. So please include the below code snippet in your application.


<asp:Content runat="server" ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">

<asp:Button ID="cmd" runat="server" Text="test" OnClick="cmd_Click" />

<asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" />


<ej:Grid ID="Grid" runat="server" AllowPaging="true" EnablePersistence="True">


. . . . . .


</ej:Grid>


<script type="text/javascript">

var index = $.inArray("dataSource", ej.Grid.prototype._ignoreOnPersist);

ej.Grid.prototype._ignoreOnPersist.splice(index, 1);

</script>
</asp:Content>


For your convenience, we have attached the sample in the following link:
Sample: Sample.zip

Please let us know if you have any queries.

Thank you! Now, grid is maintaining it's state on a button click.

Maybe it would be nice to include this sample in your on-line documentation. And also for other controls, not just grid.

After additional testing i have found out that grid is now maintaining it's state regardless changing data source. I have changed GetRecords method so it returns less data ( .. for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) ..), added BindList() action to cmd_click, but on the page/grid there is no effect after click on a button. Grid still shows data and all it's selections from previous data source so grid is not rebinded. 
This persistence is not what ViewState supposed to be. Is there any other option that i have missed?

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (!IsPostBack)
      BindList();
}

private void BindList()
{
    Grid.DataSource = emp.GetRecords();
    Grid.DataBind();
}

protected void cmd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lbl.Text = "grid viewstate test";
    BindList();
}

Hi Egi,

Query:# This persistence is not what ViewState supposed to be. Is there any other option that i have missed?

We have considered this requirement “Need to support for ViewState to maintain dataSource in Grid” as a usability issue and a support incident has been created under your account to track the status of this requirement. Please log on to our support website to check for further updates.

https://www.syncfusion.com/account/login?ReturnUrl=/support/directtrac/incidents


Also, we suggest you to use the below workaround solution to achieve your requirement. Could you please find the below code snippet:

EmployeeDetails emp = new EmployeeDetails();


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

BindList();

}


private void BindList()

{

Grid.DataSource = emp.GetRecords();

Grid.DataBind();

}

private void BindList1()

{

Grid.DataSource = emp.GetRecords1();

Grid.DataBind();

}

protected void cmd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

lbl.Text = "grid viewstate test";

Grid.EnablePersistence = false;

BindList1();
}



If we disabled the enablepersistence property by setting as false, we can rebind the dataSource to Grid. So could you please try using the above method and for your convenience we have attached the sample:

Query:#2 Maybe it would be nice to include this sample in your on-line documentation. And also for other controls, not just grid.
