Add button to update/insert grid with manual updates

[Tarkon]

Hi!

I'm using a RadGrid with a manual code behind handler to save (update and insert) the data from the Grid Command.  However, I've been asked to additionally create a button at the bottom of the form which will duplicate (not replace) these functions as well to give users more confidence.  Doing it on the Command eventhandler is very easy, however I'm not sure how to perform the same functions outside of the handler.  Could you give me some advice/direction on this?

Thanks!

Hello Tarkon,

You can try the following code snippet to get the insert/edit row and its control from outside RadGrid.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">
    <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" DataKeyNames="EmployeeID">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="FirstName" UniqueName="FirstName">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
            </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>



<asp:Button ID="savebtn" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="savebtn_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="updatebtn" runat="server" Text="Update" OnClick="updatebtn_Click" />

C#:

protected void savebtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem();//accessing insert row
       TextBox txtname = (TextBox)insertItem["FirstName"].Controls[0];//access the controls in insert form
       //insert query
   }
   protected void updatebtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       int editindex =Convert.ToInt32(RadGrid1.EditIndexes[0]);
       GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditFormItem)[editindex];//accessing edit row
       TextBox txtname = (TextBox)editItem["FirstName"].Controls[0];//access the controls in edit form
     //update query
   }

Thanks,
Princy.

Thank you very much for the help!  The Insert part worked great, however I'm getting an error when I try to update the form. 

My error is this:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException - Index was outside the bounds of the array.

The error occurs on this line:  GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditFormItem)[editindex];

Any advice on this?

Any idea what I can do to fix the System.IndexOutOfRangeException - Index was outside the bounds of the array problem?  I'm being pressured to get this button put in place.

HI Tarkon,

foreach (GridDataItem item in grdUsers.EditItems)
{
 
    GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)item.EditFormItem;
// item.Edit = false;

 }

Thanks,
