casting griddataitem to custom object or class

[Prathibarani]

Hi,

Using Rad controls for asp.net ajax 2013 Q1 with visual studio 2012 ultimate c#.
We have some global code that is used by all the grids in all the pages. In itemDataBound event of RadGrid, I need to get row data and pass it on to global code. Currently, with the grid we are using:
  
    customClass rowData = (customClass) e.data;

Is it possible to cast itemdata to custom object. If yes, please let me know how and example link.

Thanks,
Prathiba.

Hi,

In order to achieve your goal you could use the following approach:

Object dataItem = null;
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        dataItem = e.Item.DataItem;
    }
}

Thus the dataItem will be available to all the methods in this class.
