Regarding: Client-side Binding, Programmatic Binding

Attempted to perform Client-side Binding to reduce sort and filtering network traffic, using this example http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/databinding/defaultcs.aspx#qsf-demo-source as the basis of my work.

I could not get the server-side public static GetData method to get invoked (and stop on a source code break-point), regardless what I tried.

However, I would get a runtime error immediately if I comment out the GetData method entirely.

The example code on the Telerik website cannot be downloaded and relies on a SQL Server database (cannot find a way of examining working code -- e.g. hardcoded values that are returned from GetData static WebMethod).

Would really like to get client-side data-binding working, but am unsure how to proceed.

NOTE: I also tried enabling DataBinding > EnableCaching, but break-point on NeedDataSource still got hit when gridview data was sorted or filtered (and I want sorting and filtering to occur client-side).
