AutoEdit not working

[Michael]

After updating to 2012 Q2 RadDataForm don't work in AutoEdit mode regardless of property value.

Hi,

 Indeed there was such an issue with the latest version and it was already resolved. The fix will be available with this week's internal build.

Is there a workaround for this? I have updated my application to your latest release and the program is broken now. Very frustrating, it was a bad idea to update right after a recent release.

Thanks,
Kam

Hello Kam,

I am so sorry to hear that. Have you already upgraded to our Latest Internal Build?
In case you still have a problem, may I ask you to share more details on how the RadDataForm don't work in AutoEdit?

Didie,
Thanks for the note. I have tried the internal build and still the same issue. I am thinking it could be something else besides the AutoEdit issue. Here is my RadDataForm line:

<telerik:RadDataForm x:Name="newRecordsDataForm"
                            Grid.Row="1"
                            Grid.RowSpan="2"
                            AutoEdit="True"
                            AutoCommit="True"
                            Grid.Column="1"
                            Margin="0,0,12,0"
                            VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                            AutoGenerateFields="False"
                            BorderThickness="0"
                            CommandButtonsVisibility="Navigation"
                            CurrentIndex="{Binding SelectedIndex,
                                                   ElementName=RadUpload1,
                                                   Mode=TwoWay}"
                            EditTemplate="{StaticResource dataformTemplate}"
                            FontSize="14"
                            LabelPosition="Above"
                            ReadOnlyTemplate="{StaticResource dataformTemplate}"
                            LabelStyle="{StaticResource labelStyle}" />

If you notice, I have had to add the ReadOnlyTemplate="{StaticResource dataformTemplate}" line otherwise the RadDataForm  doesn't show any data. Before I updated to Q2 2012 it worked just fine. Thanks.

Hi,

As to your second question, I can see that you have set AutoGenerateField to False. Please check this help article for a further reference why you need to specify a template for the DataForm.

May I ask you to confirm the exact version of the binaries you have tested with?

Thanks, What I don't understand is why I have to use a ReadOnlyTemplate if I am setting the AutoEdit/AutoCommit to true. My library version is 2012.2.620.1050.

Hi Kam,

May you please confirm that you have set the EditTemplate along with the ReadOnlyTemplate?

If yes, I would ask you to attach a demo project showing the wrong behaviour so that we could further investigate where the problem could be.

Didie,
Yes. I've previously attached part of my code that shows both ReadOnlyTemplate and EditTemplates are used. It should not be too hard to recreate the issue. My sample data is similar to this

public class Record : Serializable<Record>

    {

        /// <summary>

        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="T:Record"/> class.

        /// </summary>

        public Record()

        {

        }

 

        private string title;

        /// <summary>

        /// Gets or sets the record title.

        /// </summary>

        /// <value>The record title.</value>

        [XmlAttribute]

        #if SILVERLIGHT

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "A title is required.")]

        [StringLength(200, MinimumLength = 5, ErrorMessage = "The title must be between 5-200 characters.")]

        #endif

        [Display(Name = "title")]

        public string Title

        {

            get

            {

                return this.title;

            } 

            set

            {

                if (value != this.title)

                {

                    this.title = value; 

                    this.OnPropertyChanged("Title");

                }

            }

        }

 

        private string description;

        /// <summary>

        /// Gets or sets the record description.

        /// </summary>

        /// <value>The record description.</value>

        [XmlAttribute]

        #if SILVERLIGHT

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "A description is required.")]

        [Display(Name = "description")]

        #endif

        public string Description

        {

            get

            {

                return this.description;

            } 

            set

            {

                if (value != this.description)

                {

                    this.description = value;                     

                    this.OnPropertyChanged("Description");
                }

            }

        }

...

It seems to work fine in WPF but SL has issues.

Thanks,
Kam

Hello,

We have created a sample project based on the code provided. We found out that you do not need to use a ReadOnlyTemplate. Please find the project attached for a reference.
