Assigning array to datafield?!

[Rajz]

Hello,

Observe the code snippet below:

public class MyItem

 

{

    public int value1 { get; set; }

    public int value2 { get; set; }
    public int?[] dateids {get;set;}

    public MyItem()
    {
        dateids=new int?[4];
    }

}

public class MyItems : CollectionBase

 

{

    public int Add(MyItem item)

    {

        return List.Add(item);

    }

    public void Remove(MyItem item)

    {

        List.Remove(item);

    }

    public int IndexOf(MyItem item)

    {

        return List.IndexOf(item);

    }

    public MyItem this[int index]

    {

        get { return (MyItem)List[index]; }

        set { List[index] = value; }

    }

}

I set instance of MyItems to DataSource property of grid.
How do I assign dateids to grid's DataField?

Any workaround would be much appreciated

Thank you

Hi Raj,

The RadGrid does not support the desired functionality, however you could try getting the values from dateids into the RadGrid's ItemDataBound event handler and build string which you could assign to the RadGrid's cell:

void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
   {
       GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
       int?[] dateids = (item.DataItem as MyItem).dateids;
       item["dateids"].Text = "";
       string text = "";
       foreach (int i in dateids)
       {
           text += i.ToString() + ",";
       }
       int count = text.Length - 1;
       item["dateids"].Text = text.Remove(count, 1);
    }
}

Additionally I am sending you a simple example, please check it out and let me know if it helps you.
