Datatables with gridview - server side processing

dheepsandy

I have used clientside datatable for my gridview on aspx page. i am having performance issues as all the rows are bound to gridview in page load, so i am thinking to use server side processing for datatable with gridview on aspx page. Any suggestions ?

GridView and DataTables may not necessarily be compatible. Why do you want both?

i have already used GridView with DataTables and they are compatible. The problem is i am try to use server side processing of dataTAbles, and unable to get it work. i am looking for guidance on how datatables variables like (iDisplayLength) can be accessed in code behind cs page of aspx. something like
int displayLength = Int32.Parse(Request.Params["iDisplayLength"]);
is returning null.
