Some of the stuff in Flex 2 may assist in this a little, but I think for now you’re going down the right path.

Subject: [flexcoders] Filtering Dataprovider with Large Datasets

 

Hello Flex Coders,

 

I want to be able to expand the Type-ahead filtering concept of a filtering custom dataprovider to a dataset of about 5,000 items.

 

I’m in the early stages of planning this and am thinking of a combination of an Implicit Paging Dataprovider (aka Matt Chotin’s large datasets blog) and a text filtering dataprovider.

 

This is how I’m thinking of tackling the problem: talk to the server in the beginning of the filter, and then switch to client side filtering when the filtered dataset is down to one page.

 

Has anyone tried this before?  Any suggestions before I go down this path?  Is Flex2 DG going to help me accomplish this any easier?

 

Thanks for any ideas or comments,

Allen
