Find control inside UserControl inside DataForm

[Siddharth]

I'm using EditItemTemplate. I have included a user control in it.The user control has 2 drop downs. When I click update on the form, I want to retrieve the selected values from these 2 drop downs. How can do this using the ExtractValue method of RadDataFormEditableItem.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Siddharth Tandon.

Hi,

Try the approach below:

protected void RadDataForm1_ItemCreated(object sender, RadDataFormItemEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Item is IRadDataFormEditItem)

    {

        RadDataFormEditableItem item = e.Item as RadDataFormEditableItem;
            UserControl uc = item.FindControl("UC1") asUserControl ;

        DropDownList ddl = uc.FindControl("ddl1") as DropDownList;

       


    }

}

How do you bind to a control in the RadDataForm when you are using the Insert template? I tried casting the object as a RadDataFormInsertItem but that doesn't seem to​ work.

Hello Lulu,

I'm not completely sure what the required functionality you want to achieve is. I would suggest you to review the online demo below that demonstrates proper configuration for control in InsertTemplate.

If it does not help it will be best if you provide additional details on the exact issue you are facing and the scenario you need to implement so that we can further help.
