Form Editing in RadGrid

[Lucania]

Would it be possible to implement <EditFormTemplate> and <InsertFormTemplate> in RadGrid's <EditFormSettings>? Currently I have to have code behind (often done with <% %> tags but still server side code) to set the visibility, text, etc of controls on the <FormTemplate>, it would be so much better if the layout for both versions could be done with no server-side code. Other edit controls (eg RadListView) have separate templates for edit & insert and it works well.

Thanks

PS: I tried to add a feature request in PITS but couldn't seem to get it to work.

Hello Ross,

You could use different insert/edit forms with RadGrid. More information about how this could be achieved, you could find here.

Thanks for the info, I had not thought of that possibility.

However I don't think I would be able to use Eval()/Bind() in the control front-end to bind data using that technique, is that correct?

Hello Ross,

I suggest that you examine this help topic, for information on how to bind controls inside User Control.

Thanks very much that is exactly what I need!

But I still think the addition of edit & insert templates in RadGrid would be a very useful enhancement :)
