Confirm Insert based on DB Query

[Jan]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a DataGrid to show and insert events with an id, name and start- / end date. Trying to achieve a probably comforting, but also useful info for the user, I have following problem:

The user gets a custom edit form as a popup to enter a new event. Now, when clicking on "Insert", he should be notified if there already exists an event (DB side) and confirm again (!) the insert. I read the post here http://www.telerik.com/forums/adding-confirmation-to-update-insert-cancel-buttons which is helpful, but not sufficient to solve this expected behaviour. So in short again:

- after inserting new values for a new event
  - click "Insert"
  - server-side call the database and check if one or more events exist in given period of the new entry
  - if not, just insert entry
  - if so, show confirmation dialog "There is already an event. Do you want to continue (inserting) ? "
    - if yes, insert
    - if no, cancel

Thanks very much!

Regards,

Jan

Hello Jan,

The following help article explains the specifics of such a scenario and offers simple examples: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-using-radconfirm-in-server-code.html. You can further tweak them to match your needs - using proper events, storing the needed data somewhere (e.g., in the ViewState or Session).
