Detail Table EditForm Template Values

[David Kingston]

I've done quite a bit of searching and reading, and maybe I just don't get it.  Here's my problem.

I have a RadGrid with a nested Detail table.  The Detail Table is configured to use a Form Template.  To bind the values in the Form Template, I'm using markup that looks like this:

<asp:Label ID="lblID" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.ServerPowerID" ) %>' ></asp:Label>

The form populates with data nicely and everything is good.  That form has buttons on it for update and insert:

<asp:Button ID="btnUpdate"  Text='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "Insert" : "Update"%>' runat="server" CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PowerInsert" : "PowerUpdate" %>'/>
<asp:Button ID="btnCancel" Text="Cancel" CausesValidation="false" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel"/>

I'm catching the RadGrid_ItemCommand (and I have verified that it fires).  In other, non-nested grids, I've used code like this to populate a custom data object that updates the database:

if (e.CommandName == "PowerUpdate")
            {
                GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
                CMDB.ServerPower power = new CMDB.ServerPower(Convert.ToInt32((editedItem.FindControl("lblID") as Label).Text));
                power.ServerID= (Convert.ToInt32((editedItem.FindControl("lblServerID") as Label).Text));
                power.ServerPowerNameID = Convert.ToInt32((editedItem.FindControl("ddlServerPowerName") as DropDownList).SelectedValue);
                power.ServerPowerCircuitID = Convert.ToInt32((editedItem.FindControl("ddlServerPowerCircuit") as DropDownList).SelectedValue);
                power.ServerPowerNotes = (editedItem.FindControl("tbNotes") as TextBox).Text;
                power.Save(User.Identity.Name.ToString());
                ServerRadGrid.Rebind();
            }

The problem is that editedItem is continually null.  Since this code works on non-nested grids with success, I assume that I'm not referencing the nested grid's editable item correctly.  Can someone either point me to a post/tutorial that shows me what the correct way to reference these controls on the nested grid are, or better yet just show me the light with this example?

Hi,

To identify the nested  table to which the current row belongs/is bound  you can use the Name property .You can set the Name property in the grid definition
C#

if (e.CommandName == "PowerUpdate" && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "DetailTableName")

{

//Perform Update

}

Thanks
Shinu.
