Hi

I have tried for hours and read a thousand posts on this but cant master it

I have cascading RadComboBox controls inside a RadGrid and found the code below in a forum that works perfectly

The problem is that when I place the RadGrid inside a FormView control it no longer works, I get an error that says Cannot find a cell bound to column name 'HSG'

If anyone could tell me how to reference the controls inside of a formview I would be eternally grateful :)

Protected Sub RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs)

Dim rdcbx As RadComboBox = CType(sender, RadComboBox)
Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = CType(rdcbx.NamingContainer, GridEditableItem)

Dim RadComboBox1 As RadComboBox = CType(CType(editedItem, GridEditableItem) ("HSG").FindControl("RadComboBox1"), RadComboBox)
Dim RadComboBox2 As RadComboBox = CType(editedItem("HSG").FindControl("RadComboBox2"), RadComboBox)

RadComboBox2.Items.Clear()
RadComboBox2.Items.Insert(0, New RadComboBoxItem("", String.Empty))
Me.ObjectDataSource1.SelectParameters("KeyID").DefaultValue = RadComboBox1.SelectedValue.ToString
RadComboBox2.DataBind()

End Sub

Hello,

Protected Sub RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs)

Dim rdcbx As RadComboBox = DirectCast(sender, RadComboBox)

Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(rdcbx.NamingContainer, GridEditableItem)

Dim RadComboBox1 As RadComboBox = DirectCast(DirectCast(editedItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1"), GridEditableItem), RadComboBox)

Dim RadComboBox2 As RadComboBox = DirectCast(editedItem.FindControl("RadComboBox2"), RadComboBox)

RadComboBox2.Items.Clear()

RadComboBox2.Items.Insert(0, New RadComboBoxItem("", String.Empty))

Me.ObjectDataSource1.SelectParameters("KeyID").DefaultValue = RadComboBox1.SelectedValue.ToString

RadComboBox2.DataBind()

End Sub

note : if you used form for editing then replace "GridEditableItem" with "GridEditFormItem".

Thanks,

Hi Jayesh and thx so much but unfortunately I have the same error

When attempting to reference the RadGrid in edit mode it is inside the FormView which is also in edit mode

I tried this code and it still has the error Cannot find a cell bound to column name 'HSG'

Protected Sub RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs)

Dim rdcbx As RadComboBox = DirectCast(sender, RadComboBox)

Dim GridEditFormItem As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(rdcbx.NamingContainer, GridEditableItem)

Dim RadComboBox1 As RadComboBox = DirectCast(DirectCast(GridEditFormItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1"), GridEditableItem), RadComboBox)

Dim RadComboBox2 As RadComboBox = DirectCast(editedItem.FindControl("RadComboBox2"), RadComboBox)

RadComboBox2.Items.Clear()

RadComboBox2.Items.Insert(0, New RadComboBoxItem("", String.Empty))

Me.ObjectDataSource1.SelectParameters("KeyID").DefaultValue = RadComboBox1.SelectedValue.ToString

RadComboBox2.DataBind()

End Sub

I dont know how to reference the code while the RadGrid is nested inside a FormView, although that code works great if it is outside of the FormView

Any ideas?

Hi, Im not quite sure what you mean by UI code but here is the markup for the RadGrid - pls if you meant something else then let me know

You will notice that the RadComboBoxes are named differently but I tried to simplify it when I asked the question :)

Thank you so so much for taking the time to help me, that is so nice
