IList

[Dominic Morris]

If I set the DataSource to an IList, and then change values in the IList, how does the ggrid control known when these changes occur, so that I can redraw accordingly?!

Hi Dominic,

you need to implement IBindingList and raise ListChanged events. The grid listens to the ListChanged events and will synchronize itsself with the structure accordingly.

See the StrongTypedList as an example.

If you also specify grid.Engine.InvalidateAllWhenListChanged = false;
then the grid will only paint those records that were changed.

You could for example do a batch of updates (raising multiple ListChanged events) and then call grid.Update() once the batch of updates is finished.

It is important that the ListChanged event is raised right after you made the change to the datasource. It needs to be raised immediately after each change if you perform multiple changes.
