[Solved] e.item["field"] comes back empty

[Regino Sanchez]

Hello,
I am using the error handler example linked here:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/grid/grderrorhandling.html


The code runs fine, but it does not return a vaule for the field, it returns &nbsp rather than the key value. Correct values are displayed in the grid.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello Regino,

I recommend you try to extract the value from the item rather than using the cell text.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemUpdated(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridUpdatedEventArgs e)
{
    Hashtable values = new Hashtable();
    GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
    item.ExtractValues(values);

    if (e.Exception != null)
    {
        e.KeepInEditMode = true;
        e.ExceptionHandled = true;
        DisplayMessage("Category " + values["CategoryName"].ToString() + " cannot be updated. Reason: " + e.Exception.Message);
    }
    else
    {
        DisplayMessage("Category " + values["CategoryName"].ToString() + " updated");
    }
}

Daniel,
thank you for the quick reply; the problem with using hash table is that in only returns visible columns and the key needs to remain hidden.

Hi,

Have you tried accessing the Key field using the GetDataKeyValue method from the GridEditableItem.

string key = item.GetDataKeyValue("EmployeeID").ToString();

Thanks,
Princy
