set javascript sintax to gridview:

<script type="text/javascript">
    //on page load
    $(function () {
        $('[id*=GridView1]').prepend($("<thead></thead>").append($(this).find("tr:first"))).DataTable({
            "responsive": true,
            "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
        });
    });

</script>

here is my gridview asp.net:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" RenderMode="Inline">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="Name" 
                OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged" Width="30%" placeholder="select">
                </asp:DropDownList>
                <br />
                <br />
                <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
                <br />
                <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" class="table table-striped"
                    Width="100%" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand">
                    <Columns>
                        <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" />
                        <asp:BoundField DataField="Address" HeaderText="Address" />
                        <asp:ButtonField CommandName="editRecord" ControlStyle-CssClass="btn btn-info"
                            ButtonType="Button" Text="Edit" HeaderText="Edit Record" HeaderStyle-Width="10%">
                            <ControlStyle CssClass="btn btn-info"></ControlStyle>
                        </asp:ButtonField>
                    </Columns>
                </asp:GridView>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
    </div>
</form>

when I run this page,it worked:

BUT after i tried select one of value of dropdown list, datatable jquery didn't appear any more.

need suggest for this issue and fix this. Thanks

Answer 1

You have to rebind your datatable after postback. It happens now only during load. After every postback rebind the table

This is probably what you are searching for

pageLoad() will be triggered after every postback

function pageLoad() { 
         bindGrid();
};

function bindGrid(){
      $('[id*=GridView1]').prepend($("<thead></thead>").append($(this).find("tr:first"))).DataTable({
      "responsive": true,
      "sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
   });
};

it does require to be on page.

<asp:ScriptManager runat="server" />

A other option instead of pageload is

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(bindGrid);
