Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandItem' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditableItem'

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-performing-batch-updates.html

I'm trying to use the example in that demo to allow someone to edit multiples rows in a grid and then submit the changes all at once. However, I keep getting the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandItem' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditableItem'

I'm not sure what's wrong here. In my Radgrid1_ItemCommand function I've left out ALL of the code - it's just an empty function that does nothing. and i still get the above error. Any suggestions?

Hi ,

I tried your same code and it's working fine at my end.Can you please keep breakpoints and check ,on which line exactly is the error being raised.Is this your entire code or are you using anymore events? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Princy

I deleted the code in itemcommand - as you can see from the code i posted, i commented out all the code in there. And it still blows up. The error was occurring within the grid itself. I'm not in front of that computer right now but when the error occurred within a file something like Gridview.cs - dont remember what line.

Hi Ian,

I couldn't replicate the issue,here is the full code i have tried,try creating a new RadGrid and check once more.

ASPX:

       {
           foreach (GridItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
           {

               {
                   GridEditableItem editableItem = item as GridDataItem;
                   editableItem.Edit = true;
               }
           }
           RadGrid1.Rebind();
       }
   }

   protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

       }
       RadGrid1.Rebind();
   }

Thanks - i'll try to test it out a little later. I had to remove the grid and go with a standard .net grid just to get things working. I'll try to get back to this later today and test your code and see if there's any difference.

thanks
