Can't find DropDownList in EditTemplate while Edit

[Or Huang]

Hi All :

protected void radgrdList_EditCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        this.radgrdList.MasterTableView.Items[e.Item.ItemIndex].Edit = true;
        GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        Guid id = (Guid)item.GetDataKeyValue("CatalogID");
        ContentCatalog catalog = new ContentCatalog().GetOne(id);
        DropDownList ddlPosition = (DropDownList)item["position"].FindControl("ddlPosition");
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(catalog.Position))
        {
            ddlPosition.Items.FindByValue(catalog.Position);
        }
        this.radgrdList.MasterTableView.Rebind();
    }

I cant't findcontrol "ddlPosition" and return null

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Since the EditCommand is too early to access the edit form items, you can access the items in the ItemDataBound event of the grid.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
    GridEditableItem editItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
    DropDownList ddlPosition = (DropDownList)editItem["position"].FindControl("ddlPosition");
...
}
}
