Could not capture the dropdownlist ID while trying to update a row in gridview

[Sunil Bojja]

Hello Friends,

Iam working with Rad Grid. Here when I am trying to update a row I could select the checkbox and then I could get the values in dropdown and textbox. But when I click on update I could not get the id of that dropdown or text box. Please guide me in this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hello Sunil,

I guess you are using 'GridBoundColumn' and 'GridDropDownColumn' and want to access the controls rendered in editform from code behind. If that the case, then you can try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CategoryID" UniqueName="GridBoundColumn1">
 </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
 <telerik:GridDropDownColumn DropDownControlType="DropDownList" UniqueName="GridDropDownColumn1">
 </telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

C#:

 protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand1(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridEditFormItem edititem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        DropDownList drlist = (DropDownList)edititem["GridDropDownColumn1"].Controls[0];  // access the DropDownList
        TextBox txt = (TextBox)edititem["GridBoundColumn1"].Controls[0];  //access the TextBox
     }

Thanks,
Princy.
