[Solved] Deep Copy

[Igon]

Hi ,
Is there a way for creating a deep copy of a RadGrid.

I have a RadGrid that is set at design time , so  in the run time I want to create a deep copy of the Grid
so I can change the columns, operate with the values etc.  so at the end  the originally grid is not changed.

It is nice if this some how works automatically , because I have over 100 Grids, its not wise to make separate code for every Grid.


Example:
   it should work something like this :

RadGrid rgCopy =  new RadGrid();
rgCopy =  createCopy(rgOriginal);


Is this possible ?

Hi Igon,

I tried following code snippet for creating copy of the RadGrid. I created a sample datatable and filled it with Radgrid row values, then  set the sample datatable as the DataSource of the newly created RadGrid. Hope this will help you.

CS:

RadGrid rad = new RadGrid();
DataTable dtSample = new DataTable();
GridTableView dt = RadGrid1.MasterTableView;
for(int i=0; i<dt.Columns.Count;i++)
{
      dtSample.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(dt.Columns[i].HeaderText));
}
for (int j = 0; j < dt.Items.Count; j++)
{
     DataRow row = dtSample.NewRow();
     for (int z = 0; z < dtSample.Columns.Count; z++)
     {
          row[z] = dt.Items[j][dt.Columns[z]].Text;
     }
     dtSample.Rows.Add(row);
}
rad.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
rad.DataSource = dtSample;
rad.DataBind();
Panel1.Controls.Add(rad);

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy,

I used the code above and it only copied the bound columns. How can i make it
copy the Template columns?
Thanks!
