Autogeneratecolumns property ignored :(

[Paul Buxton]

Hi,

Having spent way too long on this, what has to be done to switch autogenerated columns OFF on the GridView?  The property seems to be getting ignored, whether I set it in codebehind or in the propertymanager.

I've defined my columns through the collection in Vis Studio, and then call

SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(feedsSvr);
            cn.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("ASP_GetDeltas", cn);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FeedGUID", feedGUID);
            SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
            radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.LoadFrom(dr);

Thanks for your help!!

Hi Paul Buxton,

When using the LoadFrom() method of the GridViewTemplate the current edition of RadGridView control replaces and auto-generates the columns. In the next version of RadGridView we will change this behavior and the LoadFrom() method will take into consideration the AutoGenerateColumns property and will load data only for columns with the same name like field in DataReader when AutoGenerateColumns is set to false.

The Q2 2010 release with the new RadGridView edition will be available mid next month.

Best wishes,

Hi!

I have been experiencing the same problem and came across this thread in the forum however it seems that the fix indicated has not been implemented in the latest release as it was indicated it would be.

Since this is proving somewhat inconvenient (as to overcome it would mean having to duplicate a whole set of stored procedures just to limit the columns returned) are you able to give an  indication as to when the fix will be implemented.

Cheers!

Hello James Bonnyman,

This mode is already implemented in the new version of RadGridView control. The new behavior of the LoadFrom() method will be introduced in the Q2 2010 final release, which is planned for next week.
