[Solved] Cell value

[Bill]

I'm using RadGrid Ajax Q3 2009.  I can't believe I'm having trouble with something so simple.  All I want to do is retrieve a value of a non-editable cell for a row in edit mode. 

Using the Update or Item Command event to get the value

GridDataItem

 

dataitem = e.Item as GridDataItem;

 

string mycell = dataitem["MyColumn"].Text;

always gives mycell with a value of  " "

What the hey am I doing wrong??

Hello Bill,

Just add "MyColumn" to the DataKeyNames collection of the MasterTableView and in the ItemCommand event get the column's value as follows:

C#:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
          // Check for the CommandName
          // If the item in EditMode, then typecast to GridEditFormItem/GridEditableItem
          string col1Value = ((GridDataItem)e.Item).GetDataKeyValue("MyColumn").ToString();
        }
    }
