Getting Data from the DB to the NatTable? [message #991950]

I have an App, where the Data are stored remotely, in a DB.
This data I need in my NatTable.

Now the problem is, that there is a lot of data, so I only need a part of it.

The filtering/sorting a probably will implement on the server side, using the DB functionality.

What would be the best way to connect the Data to the Table?
I suppose, that GlazedLists are not needed, since the Data comes from the server side, and I do not have to bind any Data to the Table?

Hi,

this goes beyond the scope of NatTable itself. What you need to do is write your own IDataProvider (or IRowDataProvider) and try to react on scrolling. You might also need to rewrite some code that will call the DB instead of working on the local list.

As we are consultants, feel free to book us for such advanced topics that are going beyond the scope of the NatTable as a widget to visualize and deal with local content. Wink

Greez,
Dirk

Thnx Dirk, I will book you as consultants, when I stuck somewhere Smile

Regarding my question:
I have allready a IRowDataProvider, which triggers the DB.
It was unclear, whether or not I will need the GlazedLists? I suppose not, because I do not have any Lists, which I can monitor...

GlazedLists is an extension to the NatTable. So no, you don't need that. You can build NatTables without using GlazedLists at all, it usually simplifies stuff a lot.
