I'd like to hear some thoughts about paging implementation on Flex DataGrid.
The server side implementation isn't a problem - I have a paging routine that fetches chunks of data from a database. This paging works ok with asp.net. But, with changing the client-side technology to Flex, I would not like to have a "classic web grid" with page numbers above ( 1 - 2 - 3 - ..etc ) I'd rather like to move from this web-like paging to a more Windows-like paging, e.g. have a DataGrid with a scroller that changes it's height regarding on the percent of currently displayed records. My idea is to: 1) count a total number of records in the database table 2) fill a datagrid with "blank" records (e.g. containing a label "Loading...") 3) regarding on the scroller position, update the dataProvider item's that have to be displayed on-screen I assume that this method tends to be both memory and processor consuming. So I'd like to hear a better idea. :-) ps. Does some Flex "DataGrid with paging" implementation already exist? Thanks for answers!
