Gridview & Paging Question

[Lee]

Hello all,

Fairly new to .net. Using VB.net/2005

I am having a bit of trouble implementing a data driven gridview with
paging. I am binding the grid to a DataTable at runtime (which is
created on the fly) as opposed to setting up a datasource on the page,
etc. I create the datatable and then assign it to the gridview's
datasource property and call DataBind.

At first, I kept getting an error saying that there was no handler for
the PageIndexChanging event. Not sure why there HAS to be an event
handler for that. So, I created the handler and simply assigned:

e.Cancel = False

to it and no longer received the error. However, clicking on the next
page link in the gridview does nothing except post back the page. It
doesn't switch to next page.

Is it that I must use a "sited" datasource and dataset on the page to
get this to work?

Thanks for help.

Try removing the "e.Cancel = False" code. The GridView requites the event
handler, but you don't have to execute any code within said event handler.

Andrew Robinson enlightened me by writing:

event handler.

Thanks for responding. I have tried that, but same results.

I'm looking for the answer myself

Was there ever an answer to this issue? I have a Gridview with 2-way databinding from an ObjectDataSource that I've created a pageindexchanging event handler for, but the event runs and it just reposts the same page, despite me putting in the code
gv.PageIndex = e.newPageIndex

I tried adding to the method
gv.DataBind()

But this throws a runtime error because I don't have a DataSource for my gridview, I have a DataSourceId.

Any help would be great.
