Why Page Init?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to write a simple application which binds to a dataset and has the functionality of moving columns around and sorting them. My question is, if I place the code in the Page_Load, it does not work. However, if I place the code in the Page_Init it works just fine.

So basically my question is, why Page_Init? Why not Page_Load or anywhere for the databinding to occur?

Regards,
Ramesh Bhaskar

Hi Ramesh,Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.I am afraid that I am not able to reproduce the issue. The dataset works fine with the page_Load event. Also, I have created a simple sample to test this issue and please refer the link below: http://www.syncfusion.com/support/user/uploads/GGC_Update_171669a7.zipPlease try running this and if still the issue exists, could you please try reproducing it in the sample so that we could sort out the cause and provide you a solution?Regards,Janagan.

Hi Janagan,
I tested out the code you sent me. Maybe an important piece of information that I left out was that I am using version 4.402.0.51 of the controls.

It gave me the same results as before. None of the functionality works when it is in the Page_Load event. However, when I move the code to the Page_Init event, it seems to work (even on the code in the sample you sent me).

Any specific reason as to why Page Init? I have posted the version I am using currently.

Hi Ramesh,Thanks for the update.The page_init event works fine in 4.402.0.51 as the datasource is binded initially once. In the Page_load event,the viewstate of the datasourcecaching mode does not persist during each postback and the datasource needs to be rebinded everytime. But we have overcome this issue and the page_load event works fine in the latest releases.  Please refer the link below for the latest release:http://www.syncfusion.com/support/Forums/message.aspx?&MessageID=72816Please try running the sample in our latest release mentioned in the link above and let me know if this helps.Thanks,Janagan.
