Hi All

I have a module where I am using jQuery AJAX calls back to a module which all works great,

However I have an issue with a Gridview update. The idea is that the a jQuery UI form is presented, on ok the callback is completed and some updates to the database are made, and the values rebound to the gridview.

I would like the gridview to get updated. One approach I tried was to render the Gridview as html and append this to the containing div, but the issue here is that there is a row command control on the gridview as well so the render falls foul of the Page event validation.

I'd really like to use jQuery in this way on the control and avoid if possible using the .net AJAX stuff with DNN partial rendering etc. (tied in with backward compatability etc). Does anyone have any ideas how the gridview might work in this scenario?

Hi Cathal

Thanks for the response. I realise that it might not have been ideal but I was working with a pre-existing gridview which I didn't want to have to rework the binding logic, paging and event handlers etc.

I tried a couple of things in the end which had partial success. The first was in the server code in the ajax code was to drop the command events and then to call render control server side on the gridview which will work when there are no command controls on it, then bind the resulting html using jQuery append to the original div...worked but dropped the command which wasn't ideal.

Second thing I tried was to call __doPostBack in the onSuccess logic after the Ajax control. This re-rendered the gridview but causes a postback to do it which was not exactly what I wanted. It did however still allow me to use the nice jQueryUI form that was initiating the jQuery ajax call and that was the main reason for going down this route in the first place.

All said though, I'll have to look more into using client side layouts for this in the long run. Thanks for the pointers Cathal.
