AllowCustomPaging

[Anthony Lombardo]

Please help!

I am trying to create a custom paging datagrid without success. I
have set the VirtualItemCount(Actual Number of records),
AllowPaging(true), AllowCustomPaging(true), and
OnPageIndexChanged(changePage function). All have been set
successfully, the changePage function is public in a C# codebehind
page. Everything works fine on the page except when I have
AllowCustomPaging = true, I get a javascript error stating...Error:
Expected Identifier when I first load the page, then when I try to
click on one of the numerical page indexes, it gives me a second
javscript error:
Object expected. I have bound the datagrid to a dataset because of
all the negativity I've seen on binding it to a DataReader. The first
page of data all displays fine too. Does it matter that I have
templated columns in the datagrid?

Here's the HTML:

<aspataGrid id="dgClaims" runat="server"
AllowPaging="True"
AllowCustomPaging="True"
PageSize="10"
PagerStyle-Mode="NumericPages"
PagerStyle-PageButtonCount="10"
PagerStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
OnPageIndexChanged="changePage"
BorderWidth="1"
CellPadding="3"
HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="True"
AlternatingItemStyle-BackColor="Gainsboro"
AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="center"

HeaderStyle-Width="1" HeaderText="Date<br/>Entered" ReadOnly="True"
DataFormatString="{0:d}" runat="server"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Claim<br>Number">
<ItemTemplate>
<a href='<%# "/carriers/claim.aspx?id=" +
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "claimID") + "&cl=1"%>'
id="claimref" runat="server">
<asp:Label Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"claimnumber")%>' ID="claim" runat="server">

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Appraiser">

<asp:Label Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"companyshortname")%>' ID="Label1" runat="server">

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Insured" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ifname") + "

runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Claimant" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "cfname") + "
" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "clname")%>' ID="claimant"
runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Vehicle" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"vehicleyear") + " " + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"vehiclemake") + " " + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"vehiclemodel")%>' ID="vehicle" runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" DataField="dateofloss"
HeaderText="Date of<br>Loss" ReadOnly="True" DataFormatString="{0:d}"
runat="server"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" DataField="description"
HeaderText="Status" ReadOnly="True" runat="server"></asp:BoundColumn>
</Columns>
</aspataGrid>


Here's the C# code I have:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
SetupGrid(0);
}

public void changePage(object sender, DataGridPageChangedEventArgs e)
{
dgClaims.CurrentPageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
int intStart = dgClaims.CurrentPageIndex * dgClaims.PageSize;
SetupGrid(intStart);
}

private void SetGrid(int startID)
{
string strSelect = "SELECT TOP " + dgClaims.PageSize + " claimID,..."
SqlConnection strConnect=null;
DataSet ds=null;
SqlDataAdapter da=null;
try
{
strConnect = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DSN"]);
ds = new DataSet();
da = new SqlDataAdapter(strSelect, strConnect);
da.Fill(ds, "claims");
dgClaims.VirtualItemCount = GetCount(status);// EQUALS 13
dgClaims.DataSource = ds.Tables["claims"].DefaultView;
dgClaims.DataBind();
}
catch
{
if (Session["cID"]==null)
{
Response.Redirect("/carriers/default.aspx?msg=1");
}
}
finally
{
if (strConnect!=null)
strConnect.Close();
if (ds!=null)
ds.Dispose();
}
}




ANY HELP is appreciated!
