[Solved] Custom error message for Ajax Insert/Update/Delete

[Ozzy Knox]

I am working with Ajax Editing within the Gird extension.  I would like to handle errors/exceptions on Insert/Update/Delete and display a user friendly message in the message box that is displayed, instead of the default "Error! The requested URL returned 500 - Internal Server Error" or the like.

Is there a way to tell the grid to display a custom text message?

Hi, I see that there has been no attempt at an answer to this question. Surely there is a way to get a custom, more elegant message to the client when using Ajax in the MVC grid.  Can somebody from Telerik kindly respond.

Hi Ozzy Knox,

We do not guarantee response from Telerik staff in the ASP.NET MVC forums. This is highlighted in our support help topic. If you need guarantied replies from Telerik - use the support ticketing system. In order to be able to open a support ticket  you need to purchase a commercial license for Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC.

As for the custom errors - the OnError event is what you need.

Hi Atanas,

Thanks for your reply. I am working on the decision-makers in my company to purchase a commercial license.

I have read up on the OnError client side event as per your link.  I see how there is a property in the event handler argument (e) called e.textStatus. However, I cannot see how I actually set the value of e.textStatus from the server side in the Action method.  Can you possibly tell me how to do it.

Thank you kindly
Ozzy
