[Solved] FindControl not working on Delete

[Jay]

I am doing something like the below. When I try to do a delete, however, I'm getting a NullReferenceException. Apparently, the FindControl doesn't find the control on delete, so when it tries to access the .Text, it causes the exception. Shouldn't it find the control?

Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCommand
        Select Case e.CommandName
            Case RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName
                Dim editableItem As GridEditableItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
                Dim val = DirectCast(editableItem.FindControl("tbVal"), TextBox).Text
                PerformInsert(val)

            Case RadGrid.UpdateCommandName
                Dim editableItem As GridEditableItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
                Dim val = DirectCast(editableItem.FindControl("tbVal"), TextBox).Text
                PerformUpdate(val)

            Case RadGrid.DeleteCommandName
                Dim editableItem As GridEditableItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
                Dim val = DirectCast(editableItem.FindControl("tbVal"), TextBox).Text
                PerformDelete(val)

        End Select
End Sub

Hi,

Try the following to achieve your scenario.
VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(sender As Object, e As GridCommandEventArgs)
    If e.CommandName = RadGrid.DeleteCommandName Then
        Dim item As GridEditFormItem = DirectCast(DirectCast(e.Item, Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem).EditFormItem, GridEditFormItem)
        Dim txt As TextBox = DirectCast(item.FindControl("tbVal"), TextBox)
    End If
End Sub

Thanks,
Shinu
