CellEditTemplate does not change the binding

[ronald]

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName, UpdateSourceTrigger=Explicit}" Header="FirstName"/>

The above code will correctly send the updated value to the source binding. However the below code will always send an empty string to the source binding. any ideas?

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName, UpdateSourceTrigger=Explicit}" Header="FirstName">
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding FirstName}" />
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Hi ronald,

I have tried to reproduce the issue you reported, but I was not able to. I am sending you the sample project I used for testing it. Let me know in case of any discrepancies according to your settings.

Hi, I have been having the same problem. I have downloaded the example project, however It does not solve the problem.

The sample project has two columns called 'Name'. The first has a cell edit template, the second does not. If you edit the first column with the edit template enter a new value & hit enter, it reverts back to its original value. If you edit the second 'Name' column then the value is saved.

How can I get a column with a cell edit template to save the value back to the property?

Hello Ray,

I am still not able to reproduce such issue. Please check out this small video illustrating my attempt to get the same behavior. Do I need to do something else ? What is the version of your binaries ?
