What is the purpose of using IsPostBack property in the ASP.NET Web Forms OlapGrid?

This KB illustrates that how to know the purpose of using IsPostBack property in the OlapGrid.

Solution

Generally, the IsPostBack property is used to get a value that indicates whether the page is rendered for the first time or is loaded in the response to a postback. In our new version of ASP.NET Web Forms page, the OlapGrid is bound to the DataSource for the first time only, and so the IsPostBack property is used here.

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        string connectionString = "Data                                                        Source=http://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll; Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;";
        OlapDataManager DataManager = new OlapDataManager(connectionString);
        this.OlapClient1.OlapDataManager = DataManager;
        this.OlapClient1.DataBind();
    }
}

VB

Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    If Not IsPostBack Then
        Dim connectionString As String = "Data                                                        Source=http://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll; Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;"
        Dim DataManager As New OlapDataManager(connectionString)
        Me.OlapClient1.OlapDataManager = DataManager
        Me.OlapClient1.DataBind()
    End If
End Sub
