[Hagai]

Hi,

 

Is there a simple way in the server side  to get all items in the ListBox after they have been reorder by the user (either by the up down arrows or drag and drop)?

I have a save button which when the user click on it i need to get the items in the ListBox so i can update the indexes of the items in my model.

currently i tired that:

but it's not working and I keep getting the ListBox items as they have been in the first time I load them from the db.

 

Looking forward to an earliest reply and help

Thanks.

Hello Hagai,

The OnReordered event has the information on the items that will be reordered and the Listbox has the items in the new order. Please check if that would fit your scenario:

• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/listbox/functionality/reorder;
• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/listbox/server-side-programming/reordered
