Adding/Editing a row outside of the grid

[Mike]

I have a simple question - how can I add/edit a single row in the grid with data that has been defined outside of the grid. I don't want to rebind in any way since that will cause a costly database query. I've looked at the set_datasource(json) mechanism, but that requires returning all the row data (and thus a re-query) from the Ajax/Page method call. I just want to add/edit a row with known data. With or without Ajax is fine. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Check out the demo on "Editing with external form" and see whether it suits your need.

Shinu,

Thanks for your response. Doesn't this solution ultimately do a Rebind() (and thus a database query)?

From the RadGrid1_UpdateCommand method:

        //rebind the table and select the item after the update operation
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.Rebind();

The key thing in my case is that I have a grid bound to a very large data set. I want to be able to add/edit a row into the grid with known data without ultimately doing a Rebind() on the server - since that will cause a database re-query that I'm trying to avoid.

Thanks,

- Mike
