Binding RadioButtonList in FormTemplate

[Derek]

Can someone give me an example of how to bind a RadioButtonList in a FormTemplate?  I know how to do checkboxes and drop down lists but can't seem to figure out RadioButtonLists.  Thanks.



Update: Nevermind, I figured it out.  :)

Perhaps you could share how you did this with me ? A small code sample will suffice.

Much appreciated

Hi Peter,

You can place the RadioButtonList in the FormTemplate and bind it in the code behind as shown below.

ASPX:

                 <FormTemplate>
                      <asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1"    runat="server">
                     </asp:RadioButtonList>
                </FormTemplate>

C#:

  protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            RadioButtonList radbtnlist = (RadioButtonList)edititem.FindControl("RadioButtonList1");

            Hashtable mycountries = new Hashtable();
            mycountries.Add("N", "Norway");
            mycountries.Add("S", "Sweden");
            mycountries.Add("F", "France");
            mycountries.Add("I", "Italy");
            radbtnlist.DataSource = mycountries;
            radbtnlist.DataValueField = "Key";
            radbtnlist.DataTextField = "Value";
            radbtnlist.DataBind();
        }


    }

Thanks

Hi Shinu,

that piece of information on loading a radiobuttonlist was great & helped me greatly but I had problems accessing the radiobuttonlist  as it wasn't bound to the original data.

So for anyone out there that has the same problem use the following code :

 

    
        Dim rb As RadioButtonList = CType(editedItem.FindControl("RadioButtonList1"), RadioButtonList)

from the RadGrid_InsertCommand or RadGrid_EditCommand event.

Then use the rb.SelectedValue property to get the result of the RadioButtonList.
Note: if no radiobuttons are selected the resultant value will be an empty string (the normal non-select is -1 in a form) so check for the empty string before getting the value .

Regards
