FormTemplate - Manually parse data on item update/insert

[mSchmidt]

Hi

Iam creating a FormTemplate. And i have alot of textfields and number fields which are easily bound using the Bind("") method.


However i have some fields that are not databound and i have a color picker which cant seem to be databound (my color value may be null)
I also have a ComboBox where the selected value may no longer exist.

I think i need to manually insert the values when an Edit is started and ended. However how should i do this ?

Currently i use 

e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(newValues, editedItem);

Which works very well however i cant access none databound items using this, can i ?

I have added an example of a Bound RadTextBox and an unbound colorpicker.

<tr>
                <td>
                    Kommentar</td>
                <td>
                    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox6" Runat="server"
                        Width="125px" Text='<%#Bind("ingredient_comment") %>'>
                    </telerik:RadTextBox>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    Farve</td>
                <td>
                    <telerik:RadColorPicker ID="RadColorPicker1" Runat="server"
                        CurrentColorText="(Nuværende farve er {0})" NoColorText="Ingen farve"
                        PickColorText="Vælg farve" Preset="Standard" ShowIcon="True" SelectedColor='<%#Bind("ingredient_color") %>'>
                    </telerik:RadColorPicker>
                </td>
            </tr>

Hi,

Check out the code library link below that discusses on how to perform manual insert /update/delete in Form Template

Okay, ya that example works great when storing the data back to the sql.

However what do i do to load the data to the Form when an edit form is activated.

Additionally i would like to have default value when an insert form is started, for example here i bind to a column but if it is null i would like it to state a 1.

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="IngrDec4" Runat="server"
                       NumberFormat-DecimalDigits="3"  Culture="Danish (Denmark)"
                       DbValue='<%# Bind("ingredient_parcelquantity") %>'
                         Type="Number" Width="45px" Value="1" >
                    </telerik:RadNumericTextBox>
