[Solved] ExtractValuesFromItem no longer extracting values when using EditFormSettings

[Delicious!]

Calling ExtractValuesFromItem produces an empty dictionary when I utilize the RadGrid w/ EditFormSettings.  I need to set the values of the controls in my FormTemplate on the server, but I'm not able to as the dictionary is empty.  Is there a specific property I need to set on the grid to allow me to do this?

void drgGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
            if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {
                GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                HybridDictionary extractedVals = new HybridDictionary();
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(extractedVals, item);
            }
}

Here's the markup of my Grid:

Hello Ohrange,

I recommend you examine the following sections of the Custom edit forms help article:

• FormTemplate -> Setting properties without the usage of binding expressions
• FormTemplate -> Binding to RadGrid Item

Let me know if you need more information.
