FindControl in Radgrid

[Marta]

Hi,

I am trying to acess a radiobuttonlist which is placed inside a radgrid, so that i can insert its selected value into my database.
I realized that I need to use FindControl, but can't get it to work... the name of my grid is "FichaConteúdo".
I tried:

Control myRadioBtnListTipo = FichaConteúdo.FindControl("RadioBtnListTipo");
sel = myRadioBtnListTipo.SelectedValue;

and also:

Control myRadioBtnListTipo = FichaConteúdo.MasterTableView.Items.FindControl("RadioBtnListTipo");

The problem is that I can't access "SelectedValue", it doesn't appear... I really need the selected value so that I can use it as an sql parameter in my query...
Any suggestions please?

Thank you,
Marta

Hi Marta,

I am not sure where you have placed the RadioButtonList control in the Grid. You may access the control as shown below :

# if the control is in a TemplateColumn:

 protected void FichaConteúdo_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            RadioButtonList radbtnlst = (RadioButtonList)item["ColumnUniqueName"].FindControl("RadioBtnListTipo");
        }

  }

# if the control is inside the CommandItemTemplate:

 protected void FichaConteúdo_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
        {
            GridCommandItem item = (GridCommandItem)e.Item;
            RadioButtonList radbtnlst = (RadioButtonList)item.FindControl("RadioBtnListTipo");
        }
  }

#if the control is in Editform:

 protected void FichaConteúdo_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            RadioButtonList radbtnlst = (RadioButtonList)item.FindControl("RadioBtnListTipo");
        }
   }

If this does not help I would suggest you to send your aspx code.

Thanks
