[Solved] Get Value from a Control in RadGrid

[Dany V]

Hi!!! I have a little problem with a control, the thing is that I want to obtain the value of a control inside a EditForm, so when I perform an Insert I get the value with this:

 

 

CType(RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem.FindControl("CheckBox1"), CheckBox)

But when I try to edit an item and get the value of that control, I can't...

Telerik.Web.UI.GridException
  Message="Insert item is available only when grid is in insert mode."
  Source="Telerik.Web.UI"
  StackTrace:

Hello Daniel,

The InserItem will not be available in the EditMode as stated in the exception message. I suppose you are trying to access the checkbox in the update command or on the edit button click. If so, you can try out the following code snippets:
c# (to access the CheckBox on clicking the EditMode):

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)editItem.FindControl("CheckBox1");

        }
    }

c#(to access the CheckBox in the UpdateCommand):

protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridEditableItem editedItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)editedItem.FindControl("CheckBox1");
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Hi Princy...thank you very much for your help...that's what I want to do, but can you please put the code in VB...

Hello Daniel,

Here's the VB code for the above mentioned scenario:
vb (to access the CheckBox on clicking the EditMode):

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
        Dim editItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)

        Dim chk As CheckBox = DirectCast(editItem.FindControl("CheckBox1"), CheckBox)
    End If
End Sub

vb (to access the CheckBox in the UpdateCommand):

Protected Sub RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(source As Object, e As GridCommandEventArgs)
    Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
    Dim chk As CheckBox = DirectCast(editedItem.FindControl("CheckBox1"), CheckBox)
End Sub

You can make use of the following conversion tool to convert codes from C# to VB or vice versa:

Thanks
Princy.

Hello Princy!

That code converter is great, I didn't that there was something like that....now that I can access to the desire control, no I want to have access to it in other method, not just in the updateCommand or the ItemDataBound, I don't know how can I pass the arguments needed to implement the method...so, can you help me??

Best regards!
Daniel
