[Solved] Add/Edit with GridTemplateColumn Server Side

[Phil]

Hi:
I have an GridTemplateColumn from the Norhtwind db as follows:

<Telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="CustomerID" UniqueName="CustomerIDColumn" AllowFiltering="True" >
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="CustomerIDLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CustomerID") %>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="CustomerIDLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CustomerID") %>' />
        <asp:TextBox ID="CustomerIDTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("CustomerID") %>' />
    </EditItemTemplate>
</Telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

I need to hide the appropriate control if adding or editing.  The ItemCommand event seems to be prior to the edit mode, so I am trying to use the ItemDataBound event.  The following code works fine in edit but how do I differentiate between add and edit?  Any other server side solutions are welcome.

protected void customersGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        // GridTemplateColumn
        GridEditFormItem _editItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
        TableCell cell = _editItem["CustomerIDColumn"];
        (cell.Controls[0].FindControl("CustomerIDLabel") as Label).Visible = true;
        (cell.Controls[0].FindControl("CustomerIDTextBox") as TextBox).Visible = false;
    }
}

Hi,

 You can check the  IsItemInserted boolean property of the GridTableViewi  in the ItemCreated/ItemDataBound handlers of the grid to verify whether the item is in edit or insert mode.

C#

private void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
 if(e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
 {
  //item is about to be inserted
 }
 else
 {
  //item is about to be edited
 }
}
}

For additional information:

Distinguish edit/insert mode on ItemCreated/ItemDataBound

Thanks,
