I have a grid that implements advanced databinding (ie it used the NeedDataSource event to bind the grid). This grid uses the command item template and has some controls in it. It also uses custom sorting (ie it handles the GridSortCommand). I handle all sorting at the database end of things, which is why I implement Custom Sorting. Everything works fine, except I have noticed that the NeedDataSource event fires before the GridSortCommand Event. This causes my datagrid to rebind, then I handle the sort event and specify the sort parameters and rebind the grid. So, the grid essentially binds twice which is not efficient. The reason I brought up the CommandItemTemplate, is that I noticed that when the grid ItemCommand event occurs, the NeedDataSource event never fires unless I explicitly call Grid.Rebind(). This second event sequence makes sense to me and I am able to create the custom binding parameters prior to rebinding the grid.

However, in the sort scenario, this does not work. My basic question is... how do I get custom sorting to work properly with advanced databainding. I am sure there is some good reason to have the NeedDatSource event automatically fire prior to sorting in a built-in sorting scenario. However, with custom sorting, this causes problems.

Some nodes of my RadTreeView have warning images (ImageUrl property), and when I set tooltip on that nodes it is displayed only for node text, I would like to display it for images also.

Hello
Does it have a way to get the screen resolution in code behind
because in my code behind I have code like that
 But instead to have fixed values I would like to have screen resolution value to set the height.
Thanks!

I have a rad grid with a template column. The template column contains a div element which I use as a toggle to show/hide some content. I set the onclick attribute for the div tag in the grid's ItemDatabound event. The div tag's clientId is passed to the following javascript function and I have domething along the lines of :


When the page first loads and the grid is bound, everything works fine. Clicking on the div runs the javascript funciton and it does it's work. However, if I update the page with Ajax (the grid doesn't get rebound), then I get a null reference for the div within the javascript function. It would seem that the ajax update is changing the DOM structure of the page and since the grid isn't rebound, the Client ID which is passed to the javascript function is no longer valid.

So... is there a way to modify my javascript function to take this change into account?

Hi
I have a RadGrid as follows:
Master (editable)
+ Detail1 (non-editable)
+ Detail2 (insert and editable)

In the MasterView is a status value. The following code works except for the FindControl of InitInsertButton.


How do I find the InitInsertButton control in the detail2 view in the ItemDataBound event?

I am having an issue when inserting the first child in a parent/child grid.  The insert is sent to the DB and the stored procedure inserts the correct data and generates a guid for the key on the newly inserted row.  I know radGrid is getting this guid back, but I can't figure out how to get it in the ItemInserted event.  Code in the iteminserted:

The issue is that scope.ItemIndex is always -1 and DataKeyValues.Count == 0.  How else can I extract the new key?

This happened after upgrading to 2008.3.1314.35.

How to implement "bulk update" operation in rad grids without storing data in session?

Hello-

I have a RadGrid setup on my ASPX page with a custom edit template.  If add a new record or edit an existing record this custom template displays with a number of text boxes.  TextBox1, TexBox2, etc.  I want to take the text that was entered in one of the boxes TextBox1 for example and create a physical folder with that name (text from the textbox).

I'm not sure on a few things:

1. How do i get at a textbox control in a custom template?
2. I need to be able to do this on a New Record and Update Record.

The application is to take data entered by the user to describe a photo album.  I then want to create a physical folder in two locations, this will be for thumbnails and fullsize photos to be shown the enduser.

Thanks!
