Retrieving DataKeyNames (Name itself) and Value of Edited Row .. in Server PageLoad POstback

[Neal]

Hi,

We need to retriev the DataKeyNames (Name itself) i.e the DataItem(Dsources Col Name, ..and  the Value of it  as/per Edited Row .. in Server Code,...but
 at the PageLoad event (IspOstback = true) as opposed to in the Event Handlers provided for  Insert Delete Edit Update,..
Reason being, we override the Page Load ,  referencing our   Userlog  obj in it, so all pages inheriting from the overridden Page Load, have it by default, 

1)  We now want to trap the Row Id (stored in DataKeyNames ), but since not all grids in the system use a std named "Id" as the DataKeyName,   ..!!
And
2) retrieve the value of the datakeyname of the "edited/deleted" row,..also in the Page load

Is this possible ? and if so how.

TIA
Neal

hi Neal :)


When the DataKeyNames property is set, the RadGrid control automatically populates its DataKeys collection with the values from the specified field or fields, which provides a convenient way to access the primary keys of each item.

The following code example demonstrates how to achieve your goal:

.aspx

            <telerik:RadGrid
                DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"
                ID="RadGrid1"
                runat="server">
                <MasterTableView
                    AutoGenerateColumns="false"
                    DataKeyNames="CustomerID,CompanyName">
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="CompanyName" HeaderText="CompanyName" DataField="CompanyName">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

                        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                        </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
            </telerik:RadGrid>

.cs

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;


public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (IsPostBack)
        {
            foreach (Telerik.Web.UI.DataKey dataKey in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.DataKeyValues)
            {
                foreach (String str in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.DataKeyNames)
                {
                    Response.Write(dataKey[str].ToString() + "</br>");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
