Hi,
you don't need to bind on every postback, but I'd think you'd need to
instantiate the templates (into templateColumn(s)) on every request. E.g
like on the last sample, but not doing filling the data source databinding
and data-binding on eevry request (but only when needed to refresh)
I'd separate it like this:
'Creating the templates
Private Function CreateTemplates(dg As DataGrid)
Dim tc1 As New TemplateColumn()
tc1.HeaderTemplate = New _
DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Header, "Column1")
tc1.ItemTemplate = New DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Item, "Column1")
tc1.EditItemTemplate = New _
DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.EditItem, "Column1")
tc1.FooterTemplate = New _
DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Footer, "Column1")
dg.Columns.Add(tc1)
Dim tc2 As New TemplateColumn()
tc2.HeaderTemplate = New _
DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Header, "Column2")
tc2.ItemTemplate = New DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Item, "Column2")
tc2.EditItemTemplate = New _
DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.EditItem, "Column2")
tc2.FooterTemplate = New _
DataGridTemplate(ListItemType.Footer, "Column2")
dg.Columns.Add(tc2)
End Function
'binding the grid to a data source
Private Function BindGrid(dg As DataGrid)
SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DsCategories1)
dg.DataSource = DsCategories1
dg.DataBind()
End Function
Then Page_Load could look like:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Instantiate templates & columns on every request
CreateTemplates(DataGrid1)
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
'Bind only on initial request
BindGrid(DataGrid1)
End if
End Sub
Of course, you'd then rebind the grid with BindGrid() when you need to do
that (when data changes).
