CommandName is empty if the column if created from code

[Martin]

Hi

Im trying to create a Grid entirely from code. But I am experiencing som problems when I add a "GridButtonColumn" and specify a CommandName. In "RadGrid_ItemCommand" when I check the value of e.CommandName I get an empty string.

This I how my column is defined:

Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumn cColumn3 = new Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumn();
cColumn3.HeaderText = "Header1";
cColumn3.UniqueName = "column1";
cColumn3.DataTextField = "name";
cColumn3.CommandName = "ModifyItem";

If the add the column to my grid the "standard" way like:

<MasterTableView>
   <Columns>
      <telerik:GridButtonColumn HeaderText="Header1" UniqueName="column1" CommandName="ModifyItem" DataTextField="name"/>
    </Columns>
</MasterTableView>

.. then it works fine (e.CommandName = "ModifyItem").

Does anyone know if the is a bug when setting the "CommandName" in code.

Could anyone please provide me with a working example of creating a GridButtonColumn from code with a CommandName that can be checked in the even "ItemCommand".

Thanks In advance

Hi Martin,

This is the code I tried and it is working fine on my end.

CS:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            GridButtonColumn btnCol = new GridButtonColumn();
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(btnCol);
            btnCol.HeaderText = "Header1";
            btnCol.UniqueName = "column1";
            btnCol.DataTextField = "name";
            btnCol.CommandName = "ModifyItem";
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
        }
    }
