RadGrid - Validation with DataBinding

[Vijaianand]

Hi

I am looking to see whether RadGRid has inbuilt databinding validation. For example, if you have NOT NULL field and trying to insert the column with null, it should throw an error without any code. I see this exists in devexpress. It helps to bind the data and allow the validations to be binded against data fields instead of field validators. I hope this may be possible.

Let me know.

Hello VijaiAnand,

One suggestion is to use ItemDataBound event and check for the populated value.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
        if (dataItem["ColumnUniqueName].Text == "")
            //your code goes here
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

That's one of the ways of doing it. I was looking for something already inbuilt in the RadGrid which will take the databinding while inserting/updating the row.  It exists in DevExpress GridView but I was hoping for something similar.
