Databinding with a identity column

[Needle]

Hi,

I have a problem in a Grid, editing a new row previously entered. 

The sequence is this :

1. First I insert a new row. 

The code in AddingNewDataItem Event Handler of the Grid is :

        public void EUGruppoGrid_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.Cancel) return;

            String TipoCurrentItem;

            GridViewDataControl GridViewDataControl = e.OwnerGridViewItemsControl;

            if (GridViewDataControl.CurrentItem != null)

                TipoCurrentItem = ((EUGruppoVO)GridViewDataControl.CurrentItem).Tipo;

            else

                TipoCurrentItem = " ";

            e.NewObject = new EUGruppoVO(0, "", TipoCurrentItem);

        }

        the "EUGruppoVO" Constructor is :

public EUGruppoVO(Int32 id, String descrizione, String tipo)

{

this._id = id;  // in the database the fields is a identity primary key

this._descrizione = descrizione;

this._tipo = tipo;

}

the "EUGruppoVO" implements "INotifyPropertyChanged"

the "EUGruppoItemsSource" is an instance of : "public class EUGruppoVOList : ObservableCollection<EUGruppoVO>"

2. Then I move to another row ( the RowEditEnded Event fire with "e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Insert" )The code in RowEditEnded Event Handler of the Grid is :

public void EUGruppoGrid_RowEditEnded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs e){if (e.EditAction == GridViewEditAction.Cancel) return;if (e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Insert)_eUGruppoService.Insert((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData);else_eUGruppoService.Update((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData);}

3. Then I move in the row previously entered, strangely the value of the "id" property of the current item has remained zero.I edit the row, when I move to another row the RowEditEnded Event fire again with "e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Update"but the "id" property of (EUGruppoVO)e.NewData is still zero, why ?

An extract of the XAML code is :...<telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="EUGruppoGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" ShowGroupPanel="True" ItemsSource="{Binding EUGruppoItemsSource, Mode=TwoWay}" CurrentItem="{Binding EUGruppoCurrentItem, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="0,0,0,0"><telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns><telerikGridView:GridViewComboBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Tipo, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding TipoEUList, Mode=OneWay}" DisplayMemberPath="Descrizione" SelectedValueMemberPath="Codice" Header="Tipo" IsReadOnly="False" /><telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Descrizione, Mode=TwoWay}" Header="Descrizione" IsReadOnly="False" /><telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn IsVisible="False" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Id, Mode=OneWay}" Header="Id" IsReadOnly="True" /></telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns></telerikGridView:RadGridView>...

An extract of the code behind is :...this.EUGruppoGrid.AddingNewDataItem += new EventHandler<Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs>(_tabelleViewModel.Controller.EUGruppoGrid_AddingNewDataItem);this.EUGruppoGrid.RowEditEnded += new EventHandler<Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs>(_tabelleViewModel.Controller.EUGruppoGrid_RowEditEnded);...DataContext = _tabelleViewModel

Thanks, Dario.

Hi Dario Cristante,

If I understand correctly you are creating ObservableCollection from your database and pass it as an ItemsSource of the grid. Unfortunately database does not update this ObservableCollection when somebody has inserted or edited a record in it, you have to do it manually. So on RadGridView.RowEditEnded event you also have to update RadGridView.ItemsSource. Let me know if there is something unclear or I'm not correct in my guess.

Hi Nikolov, it seems that I solved my problem with this code lines :

        public void EUGruppoGrid_RowEditEnded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.EditAction == GridViewEditAction.Cancel) return;

            if (e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Insert)

            {

EUGruppoVO EUGruppoNew = _eUGruppoInService.Insert((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData);

                ((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData).Id = EUGruppoNew.Id;

            }

            else

            {

                _eUGruppoInService.Update((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData);

            }

        }

Now "id" property is correctly valued, all works fine but this workaround is right ?

Thanks Dario.

Hello Dario,

Yes, this is the correct way to implement this.
