Enhanced footers when you expand a detail table

[andieje]

Hello
I am using a fairly old version of rad controls for asp.net ajax (Q3 2008).
I have a master detail grid. In the footer I am showing some basic aggregate details (which I am actually having to calculate manually as the built in aggregates aren't working properly but thats another story) and I am displaying them in the footer by adding literal controls to get a multiline display:

 

 

 

Protected Sub gridJourneys_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles gridJourneys.ItemDataBound

        If e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name = "Journeys" Then
            If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then


                Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)



                Dim x As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(dataItem("IdlingTime").Text)
                idlingTime = (idlingTime + x)
                Dim y As Double = Double.Parse(dataItem("DistanceTravelled").Text)
                distanceTravelled = (distanceTravelled + y)
                Dim z As TimeSpan = TimeSpan.Parse(dataItem("TimeTaken").Text)
                timeTaken = (timeTaken + z)




            ElseIf TypeOf e.Item Is GridFooterItem Then

                Dim footerItem As GridFooterItem = CType(e.Item, GridFooterItem)

                footerItem("DistanceTravelled").Text = distanceTravelled.ToString("F2")
                'footerItem("TimeTaken").Text = timeTaken.ToString




                footerItem("TimeTaken").Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("Total: " & timeTaken.ToString & "<br/>"))
                footerItem("TimeTaken").Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("Idling: " & idlingTime.ToString))


            End If

The footer displays fine when the grid first loads but if I expand a row in the table to show the details table then the footer information for TimeTaken column (which was created using literal controls) is lost. The DistanceTravelled column is fine

Hello,

You can try moving your custom code for aggregates inside ItemCreated event instead of ItemDataBound and see if it makes any difference. However, I would suggest that you upgrade to the latest version of RadControls where RadGrid provides an intuitive method to define aggregates on a per-column basis from design time and render the results inside the respective column's footer:
