Member	robert-tailor.co - 9/18/2012 5:53:48 PM Setting CMSRepeater Path from code-behind Whatever I set a CMSRepeater 'Path' property to in the Code-behind is ignored when my page is rendered. Why? How do I set the 'Path' property of a CMSRepeater to ensure the correct path is used?


Member	kentico_michal - 9/19/2012 7:48:56 AM RE:Setting CMSRepeater Path from code-behind Hi, Please try to call the repeaterID.ReloadData(true) method after you set the Path property. Best regards, Michal Legen

Hi,

What does the boolean 'forceReload' parameter do? If I set it to 'false' the method doesn't appear to do anything.

The documentation describes this parameter as follows:

"Loads data from the according to the current values of properties."

What does that mean?

OK, thanks Juraj.

Sorry if this is another dumb question, but isn't:

repeaterID.ReloadData(false)

the same as simply not calling ReloadData() in the first place?

Also, (and again, apologies if this is dumb question) in what kind of scenario would you want to explicitly *not* ReloadData()? Can you give an example?

RE:Setting CMSRepeater Path from code-behind

Hi,

I see now - this is telling whether you want to load the data from the DB or not. If set to true, you are reloading the data from the DB - so you have the actual data. If set to false, you are just loading the data - e.g. in case there is some callback or something similar and the data were not changed, you just need to load them again and do not need to go to the DB again. I hope it makes sense.

Best regards,
