Stop databinding on form load.

[Steven Blair]

I have a web form with a GridView and a DataSource.
As soon as the page loads, my GridView is populated.
My form has several querying capabilties, which on postback repopulates
my GridView.
What I want is to stop the data binding when my form first starts up, so
the query components are clear and no default data is returned when the
user first loads up.

Is this possible and if so, how could I go about doing this?

Regards,

Steven

Just overwrite the DataBind() method in your Page?

 

[Steven Blair]

What do you mean by overwrite?

On the Page_load there is no call to .DataBind since I am using a
GridView and a DataSource.

if(IsPostBack)
{
//do stuff here
}

Thanks for the help so far, but the problem is I don't have a call to
DataBind in he Page_Load because I am using a SQLDataSource and a
GridView.

I need to somehow cancel this DataBinding which happens when my page is
created.
