RadGrid inside a RadWindow, issue with NavigateURL

[binny]

This is a simple issue but not sure what I am doing wrong , this piece of code opens a radwindow but doesnt hit the details.aspx

 <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadGrid1">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadGrid1"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>           
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

       <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" Skin="Office2010Silver" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" PageSize="25" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand">
         <PagerStyle Mode="NumericPages" AlwaysVisible="true"></PagerStyle>
         <MasterTableView >

      <Columns>
        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">
            <ItemTemplate>                
                <span> <asp:ImageButton ID="NotifyAgain" ImageUrl="~/Images/details.png"  CommandName="details" runat = "server" /> </span>              
                            
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
      </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
         <HeaderStyle Width="10px" />
         <ClientSettings EnableRowHoverStyle="true">
              <Resizing AllowColumnResize="true" ResizeGridOnColumnResize="true" AllowResizeToFit="true" />
            </ClientSettings>
     </telerik:RadGrid>

        
        <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" Modal="true"  Skin="MetroTouch" runat="server" Width="800px" Height="800px" Title="Details" CssClass="override" >
  
</telerik:RadWindow>

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
              
        {       
            if (!Page.IsPostBack)
            {
                RadGrid1.DataSource = GetDataTable();
                RadGrid1.DataBind();

            }
        }


  protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string value = item["FileName"].Text;

            switch (e.CommandName)
            {
                case "details": Details(value);
                    break;
            }
        }

        private void Details(string fileName)
        {

            string fullPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["path"] + fileName;     

             RadWindow1.NavigateUrl = "details.aspx?name=" + fileName; 

             string script = "function f(){$find(\"" + RadWindow1.ClientID + "\").show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true);
          
        }
             ​

Hi Binny,

The NeedDataSource event is the mandatory way when you need to bind the grid to a programmatic data source in the code-behind. It is important to note that you are not using DataBind() to bind the grid. Performing complex grid operations such as Inserting, Deleting, Updating, Hierarchy relations, Grouping, Exporting, Paging, Sorting, Filtering, etc. require accommodating appropriate database operations.  Therefore, we suggest you to avoid Simple Databinding and strongly recommend the use of more advanced databinding methods, which automatically handle the aforementioned functions:
Declarative DataSource
Programmatic Data Binding

Hope this helps. Please make the suggested modification and let me know about the result.

Hello Eyup,

Thank you, I made that change but still it doesnt work 

 I am having this weird issue with Radwindows navigateurl property 

When I do something like this it redirects

 <telerik:RadWindow ID="Details" Modal="true" Skin="MetroTouch" runat="server" Width="800px" Height="800px" Title="Details" CssClass="override" NavigateUrl="~/Details.aspx'" ></telerik:RadWindow>

But when I do it through the code behind it doesnt redirect to that page 

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                string value = item["Name"].Text;

                switch (e.CommandName)
                {
                    case "download": download(value);
                        break;
                    case "details": Details(value);
                        break;
                    case "sendemail": sendemail(value);
                        break;
                }
            }
        }

 private void Details(string Name)
        {            
            
            string script = "function f(){$find(\"" + Details.ClientID + "\").show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true);
            string url = "details.aspx?name=" + Name;
            Details.NavigateUrl = url;         
          
        }

Hello Binny,

It seems that this event is triggered too late for setting the property of the window. What I can suggest is that you set the navigateUrl on the client-side as well:

private void Details(string fileName)
{

    string fullPath = "http://www.bing.com";//ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["path"] + fileName;

    RadWindow1.NavigateUrl = fullPath;// "details.aspx?name=" + ;

    string script = "function f(){$find(\"" + RadWindow1.ClientID + "\").set_navigateUrl((\"" + fullPath + "\")); $find(\"" + RadWindow1.ClientID + "\").show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true);

}

Thank you

One thing I noticed here that it keeps the value of filename same for all the rows , is there a way to get around that ?

[Eyup]

Hello Binny,

Could you check whether the correct fileName is passed as argument when you are calling the Details method? If not, then you can try to set CommandArgument of the ImageButton:

<asp:ImageButton ... CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ShipName") %>' />

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "details")
    {
        string name = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
    }
}

That should do the trick. Looking forward to your reply.

I am getting the correct filename using this code snippet , just that the navigateURL is not being updated even though I see at  server side that it has been updated but when the Radwindow loads the first same file name all the time and then I thought it was getting cached so I tried DestroyOnClose ="true", it didnt work 

 

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
               string value = item["FileName"].Text;
             
                switch (e.CommandName)
                {
                    case "download": download(value);
                        break;
                    case "details": Details(value);
                        break;
                    case "sendemail": sendemail(value);
                        break;
                }
            }
        }

 

So I now I am dojng it client side and now it is working but not the way I wanted 

 

 function RowSelected(sender, args) {
              var filename = args.getDataKeyValue("FileName");
              var wnd = $find("<%=RadWindow1.ClientID %>");
              wnd.setUrl('meetingdetails.aspx?meetingname=' + filename);
              wnd.show();

              //window.radopen('meetingdetails.aspx?meetingname=' + filename, "RadWindow1");
          }​

Ok I know what I am doing wrong , I should be using Radwindow's  ReloadOnShow and set it to "true", that fixed this issue 

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
