Accessing RadGrid from child page

[Clive Hoggar]

Hi

I am trying to run some code behind based on the SelectedItemChanged event of RagdGrid1.
I have this running OK in a standard aspx page but I am trying to use the same approach
with the Grid in a master page.   How do I reference the RadGrid from the child page?

I am trying this:

Imports    Telerik.Web.UI       Partial Class latour       Inherits System.Web.UI.Page         Protected Sub RadGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged

Dim strUnitOfSale, strName, strVintage, strProductCode As String

Dim RadGrid1 As RadGrid

RadGrid1 = CType(Master.Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder3col").FindControl("RadGrid1"), RadGrid)

' code to do stuff here   End Sub End Class

This approach works for finding labels and text boxes for the onload event, but in this case, although the selected row changes color,
the code behind does not run. (and no produces no run time errors)

Can you help?

Thanks

Clive

Hi Clive,

Generally, you should be able to access the grid in the same way as with other controls which reside on the parent master page. Can you please debug your code to see whether the grid is referenced as expected? Note that if the grid resides inside another control, you will need to find the other control first with the FindControl(id) method and then call FindControl("RadGrid1") for it.
