Sending information on RowDrop server side event

[Giovanni Soldi]

Hello,

I'm trying to send more information to process on the server side when a RadGrid Row is dropped. The issue is that the default postback event is very limited. You can't for example pass a simple string with a value. Right now the only solution I can think of is cancelling the RowDrop event in the client side and do another postback this time with my data passed in. Does anyone know another way to do it?

Seems very limited that you can have only a destination HTMLElement and a destination DataItem. Would be cool another argument let's say for passing arbitrary data.

Hello Giovanni,

You can pass values through a hidden field. See the code snippets bellow:

ASPX:

<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="HiddenField1" Value="Default" />
<telerik:RadCodeBlock runat="server" ID="RadCodeBlock1">
  <script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById('<%=HiddenField1.ClientID%>').value = "Some text set on client";
  </script>
</telerik:RadCodeBlock>
<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" onrowdrop="RadGrid1_RowDrop">

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_RowDrop(object sender,
         Telerik.Web.UI.GridDragDropEventArgs e)
{
    String passedValue = HiddenField1.Value;
}
