Dont hide InsertItem in 'PerformInsertCommand'

[Brindavan]

Hi,

I am using the FormTemplate mode in EditForm settings.
When the user fills information in new item and clicks on 'Save' it fires the perfomInsert command.
I am validating data in ItemCommand method in code behind.

When the validation is successful I am rebinding the grid. Otherwise I need to display error message to user and user should still see the InsertItem. But as soon as the execution of code in 'PerformInsertCommand' completes, the new InsertItem is hidden.

How do I get around this?

Hello Brindavan,

Try the following approach:

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    Hashtable values = new Hashtable();
    (e.Item as GridEditableItem).ExtractValues(values);
    SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters.Clear();
    SqlDataSource1.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [Categories] ([CategoryName], [Description]) VALUES ('" + values["CategoryName"].ToString() + "', '" + values["Description"].ToString() + "')";
    SqlDataSource1.Insert();
    e.Canceled = true; //this will help us keep the form opened
}
