ClientDataKeyNames

[Thomas]

When do I need to set a value for ClientDataKeyNames? Should this value generally be set to the same values of DataKeyNames?

Hello Thomas,

You need to set ClientDataKeyNames when you plan to extract values client-side using the getDataKeyValue(colName) method of RadGrid Prometheus:

http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/Grid/Examples/Client/Keys/DefaultCS.aspx

It is not mandatory to have the same field names defined through the DataKeyNames and ClientDataKeyNames properties of the control (this depends on your custom code logic).

 Intellisense is not supporting ClientDataKeyNames as below.
Any means to figure out why? How to identify version mismatch if any?

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ListID" GridLines="None" ClientDataKeyNames="ListID,MailingName">

Thanks.

Hello Sameer,

Do you use at least the 2008.1.415 version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (or better yet the latest release 2008.2.1001 of the suite)? The ClientDataKeyNames property should be present there - see this article for more details.

Thanks for quick reply Stephen.

I have relised the issue.

I was using RadGrid from RadGrid.NET2.dll, I switched to RadGrid from
Telerik.Web.UI and it solved the problem.

Thanks again.

I am using ClientDataKeyName, args.getDataKeyValue("fieldname"); The question is that fieldname is actually an object. Is it possible to get args.getDataKeyValue("fieldname").ID?
