Hi All,
I have seen some posts on this already, but don't think the work arounds apply to what I am experiencing.
Basically, if I setup the datagrid with a server-side ItemCommand event, the ItemIndex is correct.
Adding in a client-side OnCommand event, however, makes the ItemIndex server-side always 0 (zero). Interestingly, the get_commandArgument returns the correct value within the OnGridCommand event (see example).
Why is this? See below for an example.

I am using the latest Telerik release with ASP.Net 40 (2010.3.1215.40).

Thanks for any insight.

Hello Steele,

This is true only for custom commands, i.e commands for which RadGrid does not have the knowledge how to handle them. The command will be triggered via first item in RadGrid, but if you do not explicitly set CommandArguments it will contain the index of the item from which the command was triggered.

In the meaning of facts the OnCommand client event is intended for client-side binding, thus using it with server-side binding might lead to such behavior.
