insert returns to Update Command

[Andy Stapleton]

I specified the user control on the grid to call for update/insert/delete,  

It seems that when I click the Insert button it does call the form, but once clicking the form SUBMIT button (itemcommand = Update) , it returns to the Radgrid1_UpdateCommand()  instead of the RadGrid1_InsertCommand 

what did I do wrong

seems that once the usercontrol is called, it sets as a UPDATE instead of INSERT...

Hi Andy,

Please, make sure that you have specified the correct command names for the buttons, and are toggling on/off the visibility, depending on whether the control is in insert or edit mode:

.ascx

<tr>
        <td align="right" colspan="2">
            <asp:button id="btnUpdate" text="Update" runat="server" CommandName="Update" Visible='<%# !(DataItem is Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject) %>'></asp:button>
            <asp:button id="btnInsert" text="Insert" runat="server" CommandName="PerformInsert" Visible='<%# DataItem is Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject %>'></asp:button>
            &nbsp;
            <asp:button id="btnCancel" text="Cancel" runat="server" causesvalidation="False" commandname="Cancel"></asp:button></td>
    </tr>

yes, found that in the examples... 

and it did put in the right area, but 

 <td colspan="2">

            &nbsp;<telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtBalance" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Enter current balance"

                Skin="Inox" Width="168px" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.AcctBalance") %>'>

            </telerik:RadTextBox></td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td style="width: 100px">

        </td>

        <td style="width: 108px">

        </td>

        <td style="width: 100px">

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td colspan="3" style="text-align: center">

        <asp:button id="btnUpdate" text="Update" runat="server" CommandName="Update" Visible='<%# !(DataItem is Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject) %>'></asp:button>  

        <asp:button id="btnInsert" text="Insert" runat="server" CommandName="PerformInsert" Visible='<%# DataItem is Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject %>'></asp:button>  

you can see where I am Using DataItem in the fields and no errors, and it does work, 

but for both buttons I get  "the Name DataItem Does not Exists in Current Context"  ,,,, don't think it should be giving me that error based on the example code that is the same..

[Andy Stapleton]

still need the answer ,but used the ItemCommand to call 2 different forms for now...

Hello Andy,

I cannot say for sure what is causing this exception. If the issue persists, you can open a formal support ticket, and send us a small sample, demonstrating your implementation, for further investigation.

Has there been a solution to this issue?

I am having the same issue.. using the Demo code for this I have the same results.. no matter if I "edit" a record or "Insert" a record, 
only the "Update" ever shows, "Insert" Button never does.

Q1 2011...

Here is the code I'm using:

RadGrid is
           AllowAutomaticInserts="true"
           AllowAutomaticUpdates="true"
           AllowAutomaticDeletes="true"


Command buttons:  "Insert" Button never shows.
                                <td colspan="99">
                                    <asp:Button
                                        ID="btnUpdate"
                                        Text="Update"
                                        runat="server"
                                        CommandName="Update"
                                        Visible='<%# !(Container is Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject) %>'>
                                    </asp:Button>
                                    <asp:Button
                                        ID="btnInsert"
                                        Text="Insert"
                                        runat="server"
                                        CommandName="PerformInsert"
                                        Visible='<%# Container is Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject %>'>
                                    </asp:Button>

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Can you share the whole grid declaration? I will try to build up a sample based on it and see what went wrong there.

All the best,
