Question

I’m creating a gridview using an objectdatasource and it works fine when pulling all records. But when I want to use the selectCountMethod the grid shows no values.

I Step through the code and my getInvoices (gets the requested data) returns data and the getInvoicesCount (gets the total record count). But then when I go through the rowdatabound of the gridview there’s nothing in there and no data displays.

Here is my code to set the objectdatasource. Any reasons why it wouldn’t work or something special that needs to be done for getting the selectcount to work?

Me.ODS.TypeName = "invoice"
Me.ODS.EnablePaging = True
Me.ODS.SelectMethod = "getInvoices"
Me.ODS.SelectCountMethod = "GetInvoiceCount"
Me.ODS.StartRowIndexParameterName = "startRowIndex"
Me.ODS.MaximumRowsParameterName = "maximumRows"
Me.ODS.SelectParameters.Add("strbu", strBusUnit)
Me.ODS.SelectParameters.Add("stremailAddress", emailAddress)
Me.ODS.SelectParameters.Add("startDate", search_startdate)
Me.ODS.SelectParameters.Add("enddate", search_enddate)
Me.ODS.SelectParameters.Add("sortExpression", sortExpression & " " & sortDirection)

With gvInvoices
   .PageIndex = intPageIndex
   .PageSize = 25
   .DataBind()
End With

I was able to figure this one out. The count was being returned as a long instead of integer. I changed it to integer and all is working great
