Blazor Data Grid - Change data source for selected items

[Evgenia]

I have a grid that takes live data (like connection status of an item) from a specific endpoint of a controller. I want to take those live data only for selected items in the grid without changing grid' s columns. I mean that i want to change data source in the grid only for selected items. Is there an example of something like this?

Thank you

Hi Evgenia,

It is possible to update a specific Grid row - there is no need to reload all items. You just need to find the row in the Grid's Data collection and change its values. Here is a simple example that shows two different ways to do it. Make sure to get familiar with these resources as well:

• Documentation: Refresh Grid Data
• Knowledge Base: Force a Grid to Refresh

@using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations

<p>Select a row:</p>

<TelerikGrid Data="@GridData"
             SelectionMode="GridSelectionMode.Single"
             @bind-SelectedItems="@SelectedRows"
             Width="400px">
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field="@nameof(GridModel.Text)" />
    </GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>

@if (SelectedRows.Any())
{
    <p>Update it via the form...</p>

    <TelerikForm Model="@SelectedRows.FirstOrDefault()"
                 Orientation="FormOrientation.Horizontal"
                 Width="400px"
                 OnValidSubmit="@RefreshGrid">
        <FormValidation>
            <DataAnnotationsValidator />
        </FormValidation>
        <FormItems>
            <FormItem Field="@nameof(GridModel.Text)" />
        </FormItems>
    </TelerikForm>

    <p>... or via this button:</p>

    <TelerikButton OnClick="@UpdateRow">Update Selected Row</TelerikButton>
}

@code {
    List<GridModel> GridData { get; set; } = new List<GridModel>();

    IEnumerable<GridModel> SelectedRows { get; set; } = new List<GridModel>();

    void RefreshGrid()
    {
        var index = GridData.FindIndex(x => x.ID == SelectedRows.FirstOrDefault().ID);

        GridData[index] = SelectedRows.FirstOrDefault();

        // not necessary here
        //GridData = new List<GridModel>(GridData);
    }

    void UpdateRow()
    {
        var index = GridData.FindIndex(x => x.ID == SelectedRows.FirstOrDefault().ID);

        GridData[index].Text = "Row updated: " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();

        // refresh Grid Data instance
        GridData = new List<GridModel>(GridData);
    }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
        {
            GridData.Add(new GridModel() { ID = i, Text = "Text " + i.ToString() });
        }
    }

    public class GridModel
    {
        public long ID { get; set; }

        [Required]
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }
}
