Hi Ibrahim,

I had a similar reuirement before, the way I got it to work was to add a SelectCheckbox column to the grid, and then on the checkchanged event of the control I wired the needed functionality to show my div and grid below the top grid. I also filtered the second grid depending on what I selected in the first grid. Does this help?

Hi Ibrahim,

From my understanding the SelectedIndexChanged event of the Grid will fire only if a postback happens while selecting the row. For that you can set the EnablePostBackOnRowClick property to true.

ASPX:

<ClientSettings   EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true" >

</ClientSettings>

Thanks

ok guys thanks it works:)

but now what i really want is to get the key of the selected row

with asp.net gridview its easy but here i cannot find a method to help me do that ..any sugestions?

Hi, what I usually do is use a Hashtable to get the key of the selected item. Hope this helps.

Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem editedItem = e.Item as Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem;



Hashtable rowVals = editedItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[e.Item.ItemIndex];

//get the value if the item is an int value for string use string etc.
int _myvalue = int.Parse(rowVals["TimeID"].ToString());

Hello Ibrahim,

You can try out the following code to retrieve the datakeyvalue on the click of a row:
cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "RowClick")
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                string strtxt = item.GetDataKeyValue("DataKeyName").ToString();
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

thanks guys i used 

Private Sub RadGrid2_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid2.SelectedIndexChanged

    

<div> dim key as string</div><br/>
<div>key=RadGrid2.SelectedItems(0).OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(RadGrid2.SelectedItems(0).ItemIndex).Values(0).ToString</div>

 

and it worked just fine thanks
