NestedViewTemplate with Controls added programmatically while binding

[Itye]

Hi,

I have a simple RadGrid control.
For each data item in the Datasource I create a User Control.
The user control is determined at runtime according to the data-item (or data item id).
I use LoadControl function to load the control.

I want to add this control as a nested view template, so I can collapse/expand each row and edit the different controls.
Once I finish editing the controls - (all in client side), I hit a save button to persist all the information to database.

I will have to loop through the rows, get the user-control and execute a save function in it.

What would be the best practice to achieve this?
I started by adding NestedViewTemplate  with a container panel to hold the various user controls.
This is how it looks like:

<MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="Id"  GroupLoadMode="Client" HierarchyLoadMode="Client">
                <NestedViewTemplate>
                    <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="configControlContainer" CssClass="viewWrap" Visible="true">
                    </asp:Panel>
                </NestedViewTemplate>
                <Columns>
.
.
.

Thank you,

Hello Itye,

In order to implement the desired functionality, I recommend that you load the usercontrols on ItemCreated and populate them with data on ItemDataBound. You can examine this help topic to see the major differences between ItemCreated and ItemDataBound events.

Please check out the Traversing detail tables/items in Telerik RadGrid help topic to learn how to access the nested table views.

I hope this helps.
