I'm trying
to add custom paging
to my site using the ObjectDataSource paging. I believe I've correctly added the stored procedures I need, and brought them up through the DAL and BLL. The problem I have is that when I try
to use it on a page, I get an empty datagrid.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="PageTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="developer_PageTest" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" SelectMethod="GetMessagesPaged" EnablePaging="true"
SelectCountMethod="GetMessagesCount" TypeName="MessageTable" runat="server" >
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="DeviceID" Type="Int32" DefaultValue="112" />
<asp:Parameter Name="StartDate" Type="DateTime" DefaultValue="" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true"/>
<asp:Parameter Name="EndDate" Type="DateTime" DefaultValue="" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true"/>
<asp:Parameter Name="BasicMatch" Type="Boolean" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" DefaultValue="" />
<asp:Parameter Name="ContainsPosition" Type="Boolean" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" DefaultValue="" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Decoded" Type="Boolean" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" DefaultValue="" />
<%-- <asp:Parameter Name="StartRowIndex" Type="Int32" DefaultValue="10" />
<asp:Parameter Name="MaximumRows" Type="Int32" DefaultValue="10" />
--%> </SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="10"></asp:GridView>
<br />
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblCount"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I set EnablePaging
to false on the ODS, and add the commented out StartRowIndex and MaximumRows params in the markup, I get data so it really seems like the data layer is behaving as it should. There's code in code file
to put the value of the GetMessagesCount call in the lblCount, and that always has a sensible value in it.
I've tried breaking in the BLL and stepping through, and the backend is getting called, and it is returning what looks like the right information and data, but somehow between the ODS and the GridView it's vanishing.
I created a mock data source which returned numbered rows of random numbers and attached it
to this form, and the custom paging worked so I think my understanding of the technique is good. I just can't see why it fails here!
Any help really appreciated.
(EDIT .. here's the code behind).
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.ComponentModel;
public partial class developer_PageTest : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblCount.Text = String.Format("Count = {0}", MessageTable.GetMessagesCount(112, null, null, null, null, null))
}
}
