Adding a NewRow by code (ria) and Required Values

[Iosu Buenetxea]

Hi,,

I have a GridView binded to a DomainDataSource..(RIA)

<telerikGridView:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=UNIDADDomainDataSource, Path=Data}"

I have also a Field that I have declared as "Required" but is not showed as a column on the GRID so the validation of a new row always fails.

So one of the solution is to add a new row manualy:

 

 Private Sub NewRecord_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
        UNIDADRadGridView.IsReadOnly = False
        UNIDADRadGridView.BeginInsert()

and then on the AddingNewDataItem set the default valued for the required Field:

 

 Private Sub UNIDADRadGridView_AddingNewDataItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs) Handles UNIDADRadGridView.AddingNewDataItem
        Dim newUnidad As New UNIDAD()
        newUnidad.CODEMP = "1"
        e.NewObject = newUnidad
    End Sub

The problem is that it does not add a new row on the grid.. (If I remove the e.newObject=NewUnidad I can see a new empty row)
Is this a Bug? Or I'm doing something wrong?

Also, Do you see another solution for "Required" Fields on RIA ???

I'm using SL4 with RadControls 00478RadControls_for_Silverlight4RC_2010_1_0319_Dev

Thanks!

Hello JUAN CRESPO,

The solution to the adding new item with required field is to override the partial method OnCreated() for your entity on the client. This partial method is generated by RIA Services for you and will be called whenever a new object is created on the client. In this method you can set your required field to some valid value.

Hope this helps,

OK, so if my entity name is "UNIDAD" I have to create  a new clase on the SL proyect and add:

Imports System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client

Namespace MSPLite.Web

    Partial Public Class UNIDAD

        Inherits Entity

        Private Sub OnCreated()

             Me.CODEMP = "1"

        End Sub

    End Class

End Namespace

 

 

 

 

 

This gives me a lot of error on for the LoginForm.. etc... (I'm using the Business SL Template), ............
EDIT I made it work.. I changed :
TO 

Imports System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client

Imports MSPLite.Web

    Partial Public Class UNIDAD

        Inherits Entity

        Private Sub OnCreated()

             Me.CODEMP = "1"

        End Sub

    End Class

 

 

 

I have remove the Namespace and Imports the web project, and NOW is working..

But I still have some question
why  <DefaultValue ("0")>  is not working ??? Because <required> etc are working...(I prefer to set this attibutes on the DomainService Metadata on the web part..

and also:
Why the code below does not create a new row?

Private Sub UNIDADRadGridView_AddingNewDataItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs) Handles UNIDADRadGridView.AddingNewDataItem

Dim newUnidad As New UNIDAD()

newUnidad.CODEMP = "1"

e.NewObject = newUnidad

End Sub

Thank you for your help...

Hi JUAN CRESPO,

I'm not aware why the DefaultValueAttribute is not working. Maybe you should ask this on RIA Services forum threads.

Regarding your other question the provided code snippets is not working, because the underlying collection that RadGridView is bound to - DomainDataSourceView do not implement ICollection, thus we cannot add items to it. In order to make this work you can use this code snippet:

Private Sub UNIDADRadGridView_AddingNewDataItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewAddingNewEventArgs) Handles UNIDADRadGridView.AddingNewDataItem
        Dim newUnidad As New UNIDAD()
        newUnidad.CODEMP = "1"
        e.NewObject = newUnidad
        'Use your DomainDataSource here
        UNIDADDomainDataSource.DataView.Add(e.NewObject)
End Sub
