e.Item.ExtractValues in InsertCommand returns null values

[Steven]

Here is my code:
 Protected Sub RadGrid1_InsertCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.InsertCommand
        Dim insertItem As GridEditableItem = e.Item
        Dim dic As New System.Collections.Hashtable()
        insertItem.ExtractValues(dic)

        'Data Stuff goes here

        RadGrid1.Rebind()
    End Sub

But when looking at dic("SerialNo") (defined as a string) it has a value of Nothing, and when I look at the other two values (DropDown Columns, bound to int fields) they are set to 1

What would cause this to come back with the null value? And no matter what options I select in the dropdowns, the values always come in as 1.  What am I missing?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello Steven,

I tried to reproduce the mentioned issue but without avail. I attached the test project to this thread.
Let me know whether it's working as expected at your side.

Daniel, Thank you for your response to this. 

I continued to have the problem (your code did not).  So I was crafting a stripped down version of my code so you could run it and see the problem.  In stripping down my code, I found the bug.  It was a classic operator error.

For the benefit of anyone who may ever stumble across this thread, I will detail what my problem was.  My problem is that I also had an ItemCommand handler, to handle a custom command we have.

Unfortunately, OUTSIDE of the case-statement for the CommandNames in my ItemCommand I was doing a rebind. This clears all the changes before they get to the InsertCommand handler.

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCommand       
        Select Case e.CommandName
            Case "DeleteAll"
                 '...   (Truncated For bevity )
        End Select
        RadGrid1.Rebind() '!!!! THIS LINE IS THE PROBLEM! It needs to only go inside the CaseStatements.
End Sub

So there you go.   Total doofus maneuver.

Thanks for your help.
