Batch Editing issue

[Nelbin]

Good Day,

I have this gridview which gets databinded with two rows(and two columns)

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid3" runat="server" AllowAutomaticUpdates="False" AllowPaging="True" AllowAutomaticInserts="false">
                                    <MasterTableView EditMode="Batch" CommandItemDisplay=Top HorizontalAlign="NotSet" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="Language">
                                        <BatchEditingSettings EditType="Cell" />
                                        <Columns>
                                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Language" HeaderStyle-Width="210px" HeaderText="Language"
                                                SortExpression="CodeLang" UniqueName="Language" ReadOnly="True">
                                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Translation" HeaderStyle-Width="210px" HeaderText="Translation"
                                                SortExpression="Translation" UniqueName="Translation">
                                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>


                                        </Columns>
                                    </MasterTableView>
                                </telerik:RadGrid>

As you can see batchediting is enabled and I have no problems anymore with that(I can edit the text on the current gridview)

My problem is when I update the gridview. It seems that I do not obtain the contents of the Translation column. I got an idea based on your documentation link http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-insert-update-delete-at-database-level.html but I always get an out of bounds issue(because the control count is 0). I tried using e.Item.cells but still the string I input in the Translation column isn't being passed in the codebehind(it returns "" or nothing). Thanks in advance

Hi Nelbin,

You can use the OnBatchEditCommand event of the RadGrid to perform operations from codebehind. Please try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnBatchEditCommand="RadGrid1_BatchEditCommand" . . .>
    <MasterTableView EditMode="Batch" CommandItemDisplay="Top" >
        <BatchEditingSettings OpenEditingEvent="Click" EditType="Cell" />
        <Columns>
         . . .
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_BatchEditCommand(object sender, GridBatchEditingEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridBatchEditingCommand command in e.Commands)
    {
        if ((command.Type == GridBatchEditingCommandType.Update))
        {
            Hashtable newValues = command.NewValues;
            Hashtable oldValues = command.OldValues;
            string Translation= newValues["Translation"].ToString();

            try
            {
                //Code to update to DB
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
               //Exception Message
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Thanks Princy, works like a charm :)

and those who need the same answer in VB here's the code:


Protected Sub RadGrid1_BatchEditCommand(sender As Object, e As GridBatchEditingEventArgs)
For Each command As GridBatchEditingCommand In e.Commands
If (command.Type = GridBatchEditingCommandType.Update) Then
Dim newValues As Hashtable = command.NewValues
Dim oldValues As Hashtable = command.OldValues
Dim Translation As String = newValues("Translation").ToString()

'Code to update to DB
Try
'Exception Message
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End If
Next
End Sub
