Hello Amit,


Call the following method after the data is bound in grid.

Code:

private void DisplayMessage(string text)
{
    RadGrid1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(string.Format("<span style='color:red'>{0}</span>", text)));
}

For complete code, check the demo: Automatic DataSource operations

hey,

its not working--

protected void Save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Button Save = (Button)sender;

            GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)Save.NamingContainer;

            RadComboBox combo = insertItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1") as RadComboBox;

            Label lblRate = (Label)insertItem.FindControl("lblRate");

            RadNumericTextBox txtQauntityE = (RadNumericTextBox)insertItem.FindControl("txtQuantityE");

            Label lblAmount = (Label)insertItem.FindControl("lblAmount");

            HiddenField Amount = (HiddenField)insertItem.FindControl("Amount");

            if (combo.SelectedIndex > 0 && txtQauntityE.Text != null)

            {

                dtValues = (DataTable)Session["Table"];

                DataRow drValues = dtValues.NewRow();

                drValues["Items"] = combo.SelectedItem.Text;

                drValues["Rate"] = lblRate.Text;

                drValues["Quantity"] = txtQauntityE.Text;

                drValues["Amount"] = Amount.Value;

                dtValues.Rows.Add(drValues);

                dtValues.AcceptChanges();

                Session["Table"] = dtValues;

                RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = false;

                RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

                SetMessage("New Order is inserted!");

            }

            else

            {

               


            }

        }

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)

            {

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(gridMessage))

                {

                    DisplayMessage(gridMessage);

                }

            }

        }

 private void DisplayMessage(string text)

        {

            RadGrid1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(string.Format("<span style='color:green'>{0}</span>", text)));

        }

 

        private void SetMessage(string message)

        {

            gridMessage = message;

        }

        private string gridMessage = null;

Hello Amit,

Since you are closing the insert form after saving the item, it will not enter into the 'If Condition' inside ItemDataBound. Thats why it is not showing the message. You can check this demo  which explains how to display the message in DataBound event or you call the function directly inside Save Button .

Thanks,
Princy.
