[Solved] DataRecord deprecated in Q2 GridView

[Kevin]

Hello,

Just tried the new Q2 gridview and found a bunch of warnings regarding to DataRecord. What is the replacement for DataRecord. Particularly, how do you access data stored in DataRecord.Data? e.g.:

var

 

myDataRecords = myGridView.Records;

 

// do some counting based on SysState field
var sysOn = ((from o in myDataRecords
              where ((MyDataObject)((DataRecord)o).Data).SysState + "" == "Available"
              select ((MyDataObject)((DataRecord)o).Data).SysId                   
              ).Distinct()).Count();

 

 

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

We are working towards simplifying the RadGridView and making its API a bit more similar to the controls that ship with the WPF and Silverlight frameworks.
 
Removing our data item wrappers (Record, DataRecord, etc) is an important improvement that we will introduce in the near future. Once the changes are introduced you will be able to use and refer to your data items directly. We will introduce properties, similar to RadGridView.Records, that will provide access to the data items (for example RadGridView.Items).

For now you can continue using the DataRecord class.
