master detail problem

[mww]

I have a grid with a master and detail table.  When I insert a row in the detail table, I need to get a value from the master table (not the datakey value - one of the columns)

How can I do this ?

in the InsertCommand event I have this code

if ("ArtistTypeSWF".Equals(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name))  -- check for the detail table

{

Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormInsertItem editinsertitem = (Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;

GridDataItem dataitem = e.Item.OwnerTableView.ParentItem;

DBObjects.ArtistType at = (DBObjects.ArtistType)dataitem.DataItem;                   ----  at is null, I need to get the data from one of the master table columns here

}

Hi,

You can try out the following code to access the value from the parent row when its child table is in Insert mode:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail" && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
        {
            GridEditFormInsertItem item = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
            string strtxt = item.OwnerTableView.ParentItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Text;

        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
