Hi Amit,

Design your custom edit form using FormTemplate. Place the Copy button inside the edit form as shown below.

ASPX:

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template" >
 <FormTemplate>
     <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3"  Text='<%#Eval("Name") %>' runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
     <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Reg") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
     <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Copy" OnClick="Button2_Click1" />
 </FormTemplate>
</EditFormSettings>

CS:

protected void Button2_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridEditFormItem EditItem in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditFormItem))
        {
            TextBox txtbx3 = (TextBox)EditItem.FindControl("TextBox3");
            TextBox txtbx2 = (TextBox)EditItem.FindControl("TextBox2");
        }
     }

Thanks

Hello Amit,

When you use FormTemplate custom edit form you will need to define the actual structure of the template in order to display the edit form. See this online demo for more info on the subject:

http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/Grid/Examples/DataEditing/TemplateFormUpdate/DefaultCS.aspx

If you choose auto-generated EditForms mode, consider the suggestion posted by Princy and modify it if necessary. General information about how to access cells and rows in RadGrid and what is the relation between the data item and the edited item when choosing EditMode = "EditForms" you can find in these resources:

Hi Amit,

Try the following code snippet.

CS:

protected void Copybtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridEditFormItem EditItem in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.EditFormItem))
        {
            TextBox txtPhone = (TextBox)EditItem["Phone"].FindControl("txtPhone");
            TextBox txtShip = (TextBox)EditItem["ShipPhone"].FindControl("txtShipPhone");
            txtShip.Text = txtPhone.Text.ToString();
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.
