Trying to bind multiple GridViews inside RadPanelBar

[Laurie]

I'm trying to bind a gridview inside a RadPanelBar.  My initial aspx code is somewhat like this:

 

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="rpbSections" runat="server">

 

<Items>

 

 

<telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server">

 

<Items>

 

<telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server">

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

<asp:GridView ID="gvPlanContents" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="True"

 

DataKeyNames="PlanContentID" HorizontalAlign="Center" Width="60%" ShowHeader="true"

 

EmptyDataText="No Data here">

 

</asp:GridView>

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

</telerik:RadPanelItem>

 

</Items>

 

</telerik:RadPanelItem>

 

</Items>

 

</telerik:RadPanelBar>

My code starts something like this:

 

List<PlanSections> mySections = PlanSections.GetAllPlanSections();
rpbSections.DataSource = mySections;

 

 

rpbSections.DataValueField =

"PlanSectionID";

 

 

rpbSections.DataTextField =

"PlanSectionName";

 

 

rpbSections.DataBind();

 

 

for (int i = 0; i < rpbSections.Controls.Count; i++)

 

 

 {

 

 

    int mySectionID = Convert.ToInt32(rpbSections.Items[i].Value);

 

 

   // what I need to know is, what code do I use to access the gridview.  I want to bind it for each
    // of its instantiations, by generating an object that depends on the value of MySectionID.
    // Where do I go from here?
}

Thanks!

Hello Laurie,

The FindControl method provides you with a reference to any control inside any of the templates used in the RadPanelBar or any of its PanelItems. You have to make sure that you properly typecast the returned value as FindControl returns a reference to a Control class.

For details on the matter please refer to this example.
