truncated gridview

pwd

Using asp.net 2.0 with vb.
A gridview is truncated sometimes when the page loads/refreshes etc - it is like the page doesn't load fully.
The gridview contains a lot of records. Setting a page size to 10 seems to fix it, but that doesn't fit the requirements, and pages of 200, for example, still result in the problem.
This has started happening since I added a datestamp to updates in the gridview.
I've implemented this before in the follwoing manner: When the user clicks the update button, the text of a label on the page is set to the date/time and this label is used as an update parameter in the update statement.
It's on an intranet where I've made other pages that show greater numbers of records and have similar functionality.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
Any ideas appreciated
Thanks.

More than likely the viewstate.,,, Use the method onItemBound (i think) set the ViewState = False

That should clear it up

pwd

I tried each of the following and none of them solved the problem:


Protected Sub GridView1_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
GridView1.EnableViewState = False
End Sub

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
GridView1.EnableViewState = False
End Sub

Protected Sub GridView1_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
GridView1.EnableViewState = False
End Sub

What physical size is the page when its downloaded?

pwd

266k when it is not truncated
311k when it was truncated - also it said "this page might not save correctly" when I downloaded the truncated version.
different pages were displayed on the gridview for the truncated and non-truncated versions.
odd that the truncated one is larger.

pwd

also if you open the html file from the truncated versioin, it shows the whole page correctly - it is not truncated in this version.

pwd

and it seems to work fine in firefox portable

pwd

well I still don't know what the problem was, but I redid it in a new page and it seems grand now.
Thanks for your responses.
