Can a Webmethod reference an ListView

[John]

I'm calling the Webmethod from JS and at the end of the function I would
like to do a a ListViewBillable.DataBind() in the Webmethod, calling a
postback from JS is not rendering the correct results.
How would I make a Reference to it as an Object to call the DataBind in the
Webmethod VB code?

Thanks
John

yes, but whats the point? a webmethod returns a string that the javascript
caller can use. databinding a control on the server only changes the control
tree in the request instance. it shoudl only be done if you need it to
determine the return value.

Thanks for your reply, the issue I have is that I have an onload event on
the Listview ItemSepearator I use to access direct control over the
separator. On a Listview. DataBind the events fire alternating as you would
expect, 1st one ItemDataBound then a Separator event I am calling on the
onload event, etc until all are done.

When using JS DoPostBack thru the OnSuceeded function on the completed
Webmethod, they fire sequencally, 1st all the ItemDataBound events & then
all the Separator events; rendering different results.

The result I am after is the Item Separator only renders one time instead of
all the time, which does not occur thru JS PostBack.

I just wanted to try it, but cannot figure out the syntax to do it.
Thanks
John
