Add ItemTemplate without binding to any fields

[Mykhaylo]

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue to add a new column with several buttons there.
Found the article about how to create the item template dynamically, but all those controls are dataBind. (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-programmatic-creation.html)

So, I have a grid created dynamically and binded to the list of objects (some class).
All columns are created dynamically too, since I need only several class properties to be displayed.
And I need to add one more column to the end of the grid with the 2-3 buttons there and I do not see how to add them without binding to the concrete data field.
Each button's click should raise the event and I should know what exact button was pressed and from which row.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks,
Myxville

Hello Mykhaylo,

You can add buttons in ItemTemplate programmatically as shown below.

C#:

public partial class TemplateColumn : ITemplate
{
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        Button btn1 = new Button();
        btn1.ID = "btn1";
        btn1.Click += new EventHandler(btn1_Click);
        btn1.Text = "click";
        container.Controls.Add(btn1);
        Button btn2 = new Button();
        btn.ID="btn2";
        btn2.Click += new EventHandler(btn2_Click);
        btn2.Text = "Help";
        container.Controls.Add(btn2);
     }
     void btn2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       //attaching the event
    }
     void btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       //attaching the event
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
