4.5 ItemType?

[sitefinitysteve]

I don't seem to be able to use the 4.5 "ItemType" "Item" property in my GridTemplateColumn

Now this is my first time trying it, but...does it work, am I doing this wrong?

<telerik:RadGrid ID="learnerGrid" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="learnerGrid_NeedDataSource" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowHeader="true" Height="500px" ItemType="AuthDB.Model.MppProfile">
        <MasterTableView>
            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="UserName" HeaderText="Name">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <span><%# Item.UserName %></span>
                        <span></span>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="FullNameReverse" HeaderText="Name" />
            </Columns>
            <NoRecordsTemplate>
                No learners
            </NoRecordsTemplate>
        </MasterTableView>
        <ClientSettings>
            <Scrolling AllowScroll="true" ScrollHeight="500px" />
        </ClientSettings>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

Hello,

Unfortunately the current version of the RadGrid does not provide support for this feature. However we have plans for implementing the asp.net 4.5 Model Binding for the next official release of the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (Q1 2013). Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused. 

Kind regards,
Pavlina

Pavlina, I can't find any demos for the beta that use model binding...

I tried looking here, but couldn't find anything on it:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax-beta/Grid/Examples/programming/binding/defaultcs.aspx

Do you know where I can find any demos on this?

Hello,

Unfortunately we do not have demos for the ModelBinding into the beta version of our control. The official version will have SDK uploaded where you can find demos with the ModelBindign for the major data bound controls. Also because of ModelBinding is feature introduced into the 4.5 framework the demos will be available only into the SDK, because our demos are hosted on the main stream framework 4.0.

Hi Pavlina,

  I see that RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (Q1 2013) has been released since 20th February  2013. Is there any demo available with this particular new feature implemented in it ( Model Binding To a RadGrid).

Regards,
Stephen.

You can find some information @ below help page;

Thanks for this Barbaros ,

   I have come across this page as well but i was hoping for a working C# example of model binding process.

All the other Tools/Features have a working demo, but though because Strongly typed model binding is  requires .NET 4.5 and Teleriks examples are on a server framework 4.0. That there may be a demo available on request or at a different Telerik demo link( lets say a server that supports 4.5 to show items they support on that framework).

Regards,
Stephen.

You are right. I am expecting working samples under Data Binding, where the first place I looked for.

Hello,

A sample projects which demonstrate the model binding for RadGrid, RadTreeList and RadListView are available in the link below:
