Hi,

With much anticipation I downloaded and installed latest ESBeta (after wiping previous version), regenerated the business objects and tried to get an ASP.NET page with a GridView to page over my data - with no success.

I am not sure whether any special _esSelect event handler code needs to be written to support paging, though it seems to me that it should be required, (else what goes into that handler?) but in any case, as soon as I Allow Paging in the GridView I get an empty grid, regardless of what gets loaded into the entity collection. Am I missing something? (would sure like an ASP.NET example to refer to)

By the way, things are heading in an awesomely good direction!

Regards

Mike,

Thanks, I had read those posts but still need some clarification. I find that to achieve any sort of paging I have to have the GridView's Allow Paging set to "false" (else I get no data returned in the grid - regardless of what I load into the collection.)

This implies further that I have to put my own forward / backward buttons on the form beneath the grid say and do the Page Number tracking / data loading etc myself?  This I believe I can do but just want to rid myself of this feeling that maybe I am still missing something. Please confirm or otherwise. Thanks.

You are correct, however, upon the next beta paging will be done automatically for you, sorting probably will as well. So it will take just a few lines of code to have a fully functional grid, we're really excited about the next beta as it solidifies the esDataSource control.
