[Solved] adding row does not go to last page in hierarchical grid

[TriZetto]

Hello,
I am adding a row to a child grid in the OnInsertCommand event. This is working as expected. But I would like to move to the last page in the grid and select the row that was just inserted. I am doing the following, but I always remain on the first page of the child grid.

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    string serverID = null;
    string insertType = "master";

    GridEditFormItem gridEditFormItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

    Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
    gridEditFormItem.ExtractValues(ht);


    if ("Systems".Equals(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name))
    {
        GridDataItem parentItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item.OwnerTableView.ParentItem;

        serverID = parentItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[parentItem.ItemIndex]["ServerID"].ToString();
        insertType = "detail";
    }

    presenter.InsertRecord(serverID, ht, insertType);

    XmlDataSource1.Save();

    //rebind to get the real number of pages (incase adding an item increased the page count
    RadGrid1.Rebind();
    if ("Systems" != e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name)
    {
        //set to last page
        RadGrid1.CurrentPageIndex = RadGrid1.PageCount - 1;

        //after changing page, need to rebind
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }
    else
    {
        GridTableView table = e.Item.OwnerTableView;

        //set to last page
        table.CurrentPageIndex = table.PageCount - 1;

        //after changing page, need to rebind
        table.Rebind();

    }
}

In this example, "Systems" is the name of the Detail grid view.
also, is there away to do this without doing so many rebind calls?
Thanks

Hi Marcos,

How to select the last inserted row in RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX you can see from the project in the code library entry linked below:

http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid/select-last-inserted-row.aspx

How to control on which page the insertion form will be displayed is presented by the configurator on this online demo:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/commanditem/defaultcs.aspx

By default you should be directed to the last page where the newly added row is visible.

Hello,
The default behavior and the example you provided both work fine for the master table. But I am still not having any luck with the detail table. For some reason, setting the CurrentPageIndex in the e.Item.OwnerTableView and rebinding does not work when this is a detail table.
I am using version Q2 2009

Hi Marcos,

If you set the InsertItemPageIndexAction for the respective detail table to ShowItemOnLastPage, you do not need to change the page index for that child table manually since the last page will be displayed after the insert operation is processed (as shown in the online example). Then you merely need to select the last inserted record in the grid as done in the code library entry.

Kind regards,
