Accessing RadGrid inside RadPanelBar

[Steve Humby]

Hi

I've had a look through the forum posts but haven't managed to find the solution. I want to populate my grid(s) inside the panelbar from the vb page (rather than using the DataSourceID) - I have used the following code in the Page_Load fuction to access the grid but I'm not sure how to bind the data to it:

Dim

 

StagesGrid As RadGrid = DirectCast(RadPanelBar1.FindItemByValue("PanelItem1").FindControl("RadGrid1"), RadGrid)

 

Dim

 

InvoicesGrid As RadGrid = DirectCast(RadPanelBar1.FindItemByValue("PanelItem2").FindControl("RadGrid2"), RadGrid)

Can you help? I usually populate data using the NeedDataSource function but it's not available in a nested control.

Many thanks in advance.

Steve :o)

Hi Steve,

In general, your code works fine. Just make sure your are searching in the proper RadPanelItem, i.e.

ASPX:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadScriptManager>
<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem1">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Value="PanelItem1">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">
                        </telerik:RadGrid>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:RadPanelItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem2">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Value="PanelItem2">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" runat="server">
                        </telerik:RadGrid>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:RadPanelItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>
</form>

Code-behind:

Imports Telerik.Web.UI

Partial Class Default2
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim StagesGrid As RadGrid = DirectCast(RadPanelBar1.FindItemByValue("PanelItem1").FindControl("RadGrid1"), RadGrid)
        Dim InvoicesGrid As RadGrid = DirectCast(RadPanelBar1.FindItemByValue("PanelItem2").FindControl("RadGrid2"), RadGrid)
        Response.Write(StagesGrid.ID)
        Response.Write(InvoicesGrid.ID)
    End Sub
End Class

Hi Mark, thanks for the prompt reply.

Just realised after your reply that I've answered my own question... just had to fill a DataTable then assign it to the grids' DataSource property.... Doh!

Thanks again.
