Well, I have no idea. As far as I know, the 'total' is only needed for
display purposes in a paging grid. You'd need to run a second query
which
counts the number of records that would be returned if no paging was
requested.
Michael.
I understand.
However, how do we send back our own "total" we got from our second
query? How do we append/update it into the response?
Good point.

It seems we need to manipulate the tmemorystream that is generated by
the formatter? Maybe we should make this a little bit easier for
developers somehow.
Yes. I don't think you should manipulate the stream; it is too slow.
I will add an 'AfterFormatResult' or so event; Likewise I will add a
AfterRow event, so it is possible to append extra data to a row. I think
we should do this for both XML and JSON, so the row/response elements
can easily be accessed. The question is now, a) do I make this a
TNotifyEvent, and make a Property Response/CurrentRow which can be used
or b) do I pass Response/CurrentRow to a new event handler type for
these events ?
Doing a) means I can introduce it at a higher level, but b) seems more
clean.
Michael.
Sounds good. For me personally, it does not matter either way, just need
to make this work :) . If we can intercept/access these row/response
elements in an easy way, I'm happy.
