ASP.NET:Paging when deleting rows
- by Niels Bosma
I have a datagrid where a row can be deleted (using ajax). I'm have problem with the pager in the following scenario:
Lets say my PageSize is 10, I have 101 rows so that's 11 pages with the last page with an single element. Let no assume that I'm on page 10 (PageIndex=9) and delete a row. Then I go to the 11'th page (who's now empty and doesn't really exist). ASP now shows me the EmptyDataTemplate and no pager so I can't go back.
My approach (which isn't working) is to detect this scenario and step one page back:
public void Bind()
{
gridMain.DataBind();
}
public void SetPage(int page)
{
gridMain.PageIndex = page;
gridMain.DataBind();
}
protected void ldsGridMain_Selecting(object sender, LinqDataSourceSelectEventArgs e)
{
selectArgs = e;
e.Result = (new EnquiryListController()).GetEnquiryList(OnBind(this), supplier);
}
protected void ldsGridMain_Selected(object sender, LinqDataSourceStatusEventArgs e)
{
totalRows = selectArgs.Arguments.TotalRowCount;
//Detect if we need to update the page:
if (gridMain.PageIndex > 0 && (gridMain.PageSize * gridMain.PageIndex + 1) > totalRows) SetPage(gridMain.PageIndex - 1);
}
protected void gridMain_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
SetPage(e.NewPageIndex);
}
I can see that SetPage is called with the the right page index, but the databind doesn't seem to called as I still get the EmptyDataTemplate.
