[Solved] client-side data-binding gridbuttoncolumn

[M van der Kolk]

I've successfully created a radgrid which uses client-side data-binding. In this radgrid I have one databoundcolumn:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="FullName" HeaderText="FullName"
    SortExpression="FullName" UniqueName="FullName">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

I would like to add more types of column in this radgrid, for instance a gridbuttoncolumn. However, when I try this code:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn HeaderText="FullName" DataTextField="FullName"
            Text="FullName" DataType="System.String" UniqueName="FullName"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

the column is always empty.

Can someone tell me how to add other column types using client-side data-binding?

Hello M van der Kolk,

We are aware of this issue and fix will be available officially for next service pack of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Currently you can manually find the button on RowDataBound client event and populate it.

Thank you for your reply.

I have implemented the RowDataBound event like this:

function grid_RowDataBound(sender, args)
{
    var hyperlink = args.get_item().get_cell("FullName").getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
    hyperlink.innerText = args.get_dataItem()['FullName'];
    hyperlink.onclick = function(){
        hiddenGuid.value = args.get_dataItem()['PersonId'];
        return true;
    }
}
