c# - Razor webgrid ajax paging and sorting

Question

I'm trying to learn how to use Razor WebGrid in MVC3. How does the ajaxUpdateCallback parameter work?

Answer 1

The ajaxUpdateCallback is the name of the javascript function that will get called after the server call is complete. The title of your question is regarding paging and sorting with the WebGrid which would look something like this...

@{
    var grid = new WebGrid(canPage: true, rowsPerPage: ThisController.PageSize, canSort: true, ajaxUpdateContainerId: "grid");
    grid.Bind(Model.Employees, rowCount: Model.TotalRecords, autoSortAndPage: false);
    grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.All);
    @grid.GetHtml(htmlAttributes: new { id="grid" },
        columns: grid.Columns(
            grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { EmployeeID = item.EmployeeID })),
            grid.Column("FullName"),
            grid.Column("Title")
        ));
}
