webgrid

I am trying to learn Asp.net mvc. I know its different from forms and i need to change my way of thinking probably. My problem is about webgrid . When i add webgrid to my page and hit search button with Post it renders table with pager and so on. But links on the pager is not posting form they are just links and i lost all my form's data.

My data access layer returns collection with rows for single page and total number of rows. Unfortunately WebGrid component does not allow to specify total number of rows or total number of pages (these properties are read-only). Has anyone had to deal with this issue before? You can use the Bind method on the WebGrid to tell the grid to use server side paging. grdv.Bind(myData, rowCount=10000, autoSortAndPage=False) Setting autoSortAndPage to false tells the grid that myData is just a segment of the data. It will show all rows of this data regardless of your page size setting. Pager will be

I have a web grid and I am not using razor syntex.Rather I am using the .aspx form. the code is below; <% var grid = new WebGrid(Model,defaultSort:"PublishDate",rowsPerPage:10); %> <%: grid.GetHtml( tableStyle: "wGrid", headerStyle: "wGridHeader", alternatingRowStyle: "alt", columns: grid.Columns( grid.Column("Title", canSort: false), grid.Column("PublishDate", "Published on"), grid.Column("CategoryName", "Category"), grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Details", "Browse", new { id = item.Title })) ) ) %> Now I want to format the 'PublishDate' column to something like 'dd-MMM-yyyy'.

I'm experimenting a bit with several grids in asp.net mvc. Microsoft has a grid too know in the prerelease of mvc 3 so I thought I'll try that one out. The basic functionality is quite easy to implement but when it comes to sorting, I'm having some problems. The grid handles its sorting by the url. In the url you have the sort column and the sort direction in the following way: ?sortdir=ASC&sort=ABONNEMENT Now you would expect that after you've done the sorting on the certain column, the sortdir querystring on that column would change to ?sortdir=DESC but it doesn't. It stays ?sortdir=ASC .
