DataKeyValues returning null

[Joe Kalinowski]

I have a grid that uses a custom user control for editing. In the RadGrid1_UpdateCommand event code, the data key values (gridEditableItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[gridEditableItem.ItemIndex]["LeadDistributionId"]) are returning null. Any idea what would cause this behavior? Note that "gridEditableItem["LeadDistributionId"].Text" returns the correct value.

Hi JOe Kalinowski,

Have you set the DataKeyNames as "LeadDistributionId" for the corresponding GridTableView?

              <MasterTableView  DataKeyNames="LeadDistributionId" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">

Yes I did. However, I didn't specify the data source id. I am using the onneeddatasource event to bind the data source (this.RadGrid1.DataSource = this.sdsLeadDistributionSummary;). However, when I modify the code to specify the data source id in the master table view and radgrid definitions (instead of binding to the onneeddatasource event), the data key values are populated. Why is this? Shouldn't the data key values be populated when using the onneeddatasource event to bind the data source?
