Cannot get command buttons to appear when creating an editable grid

[Andy McShane]

Hi, I am using the following code to create an editable grid,

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(c => c.SubLicenceId))
        .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax()
                                        .Select("_SelectAjaxEditing", "Grid")
                                        .Insert("_InsertAjaxEditing", "Grid")
                                        .Update("_SaveAjaxEditing", "Grid")
                                        .Delete("_DeleteAjaxEditing", "Grid"))
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.TreatmentShortname).Title("Treatment");
            columns.Bound(c => c.SubLicenceQuantity).Title("Available");
            columns.Bound(c => c.SubLicenceQuantityUsed).Title("Used");
            columns.Bound(c => c.SubLicenceUnlimited).Title("Unlimited");
            columns.Bound(c => c.IsActive).Title("Active");
            columns.Command(commands =>
            {
                commands.Edit();
                commands.Delete();
            }).Width(180);
        })
        .Pageable()
%>

I must be missing something as I am unable to get the 'Edit' button to appear in my grid, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Andy McShane,

Make sure you are using the ASP.NET MVC2 build of Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll. Its assembly version must end with
".235" if it is the right build.

Oh, does this not work with MVC 1.0 then?

I am using Telerik.Web.Mvc 2010.1.309.135, MVC 1.0. Is the editable grid functionality not available for MVC 1.0 then, do I have to upgrade to MVC 2 (which is not really an option)?

Hello Andy McShane,

I confirm that editing is not supported in ASP.NET MVC 1. There are quite a lot of features provided out of the box by ASP.NET MVC 2 which we would have implemented from scratch in order to support editing in ASP.NET MVC 1.

By the way why is upgrading to ASP.NET MVC 2 not an option for you? It has been officially released and is available free of charge. Upgrading an existing ASP.NET MVC 1 project is a breeze thanks to this tool.

The reason upgrading to MVC 2.0 is not an option is because of the huge amount of regression testing that would be required to ensure that things did not break (and there are quite a few breaking changes in MVC 2.0!) and that is simply not an option for this project with the deadlines in place.However I will certainly put the case forward if I cannot find an alternate grid to use, thanks.

[Andy McShane]

Well, I have put my case forward for an upgrade so fingers crossed!
