One note: I found out that if I had grid.DataBind(); - method called inside the Render method the SelectData is called twice. When I moved grid.DataBind(); -call to OnPreRender method, I got rid of the second SelectData -call. If SelectData method takes some time (call to other datasource), it decreases performance to call it twice (in vain). (Only difference from your code is that I call GenerateColumns from CreateChildControls instead of Render) Br, Juha Hi,

I haven't been able to edit the filter list in the way you propose but it's a very interesting idea. I'll be sure to look into it and if I come up with anything I will let you know :) Cheers, Erik Hi Mike,

Really helped me out with my SPGridView. I want to filter a date column, but I want to filter it by years. Possible? I do not want every date showing up in the filter list. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!! Great article! Really helped me out with my SPGridView.

If you use PagerTemplate == null you will get page numbers. Maybe I am missing what you are asking. Please let me know if I do so I can try helping out further. Regards, Erik Hi,

In this case, PagerTemplate == "System.Web.UI.TemplateBuilder". Any idea why the SharePoint paging is missing? (Setting PagerTemplate=null, displays GridView page numbers below the grid as normal).

I haven't faced the particular issue you describe but I have been using TemplateFields in the SPGridView so I might be able to help you out. I'll try to create your situation, i.e. add a TemplateField containing a button and see if I can get it to work. If you can send me some (snippets of) code you're using that'd be great, you can send them to burger.erik at gmail dot com. Erik Hi Josh,
