[Solved] Edit Button misses route parameter

[Ronald]

Hi there,

In the following grid I am missing a route parameter in the URL used by the Edit-button in the grid. The route parameter appears after post-actions like Insert, but when the grid is rendered when loading the page, it does not work.

Situation: depending on a choosen value from a dropdown list box, the grid is filled with items in a certain context (the choosen value from the dropdown listbox). The .aspx file looks like this:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
            <td>
                Please select a set name to maintain the sentences for
            </td>
            <td>
                <%using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "FooSentence", FormMethod.Post, new { NoDialog = true} ))
                {
                    var selectList = new SelectList(ViewBag.DataSections, "Id", "Name", ViewBag.DataSectionId);
                %>
                <%: Html.DropDownList("context", selectList) %>
            </td>
            <td>
                <button class="t-button t-state-default" type="submit">Apply</button>
            </td>
                <%}%>
        </tr>
    </table>
<%: Html.ValidationSummary()%>
<%
    Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("RefFooSentence")
        .DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(key => key.Id))
        .DataBinding(databinding => databinding.Server()
                                        .Insert("Insert", "FooSentence", new { Context = ViewBag.DataSectionId })
                                        .Update("Edit", "FooSentence", new { Context = ViewBag.DataSectionId })
                                        .Delete("Delete", "FooSentence", new { context = ViewBag.DataSectionId })
        )
        .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine)
        )
        .Columns(columns =>
                    {
                        columns.Bound(c => c.Sentence);
                        columns.Command(cmd =>
                        {
                            cmd.Edit();
                            cmd.Delete();
                        }).Width(180).Title("Commands");
                    })
        .ToolBar(toolbar =>
                        toolbar.Custom()
                            .Text(string.Format("Add new {0}", ViewBag.DataSectionName ?? ""))
                            .Action("Index", "FooSentence", new RouteValueDictionary
                                                    {
                                                        {"RefFooSentence-Mode", "insert"}, // Necessary for Telerik Grid to indicate its rendering...
                                                        {"Context", ViewBag.DataSectionId}
                                                    })
        )
        .Render();
  %>

The value of ViewBag.DataSectionId is always known. When the grid is rendered, the URL of the Edit button is this:
/RefData/FooSentence/Index/1?RefFooSentence-mode=edit , and the URL of the Delete button is this:
/RefData/FooSentence/Delete/1?context=2 . The difference is that the Delete button has the route parameter context, but the Edit button does not.

When I hit Insert and Cancel, or Insert and Save, the URL of the Edit button is different:
/RefData/FooSentence/Index/1?Context=2&RefFooSentence-mode=edit 
and the Delete button still has the same URL as before.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I'm working with version 2011.1.322.340 of Telerik.Web.MVC.dll.

Hi Ronald,

 Could you try specifying the Select databind setting as well? The grid is using that when going in edit mode. Udate is used when saving a modified record.

Thanks Atanas!

This solved the problem.
