[Solved] Get inserted record after successful insert

[Travis]

I'm using ajax for binding/editing my grid.  I want to do something after a new record has been successfully inserted.  Is it possible to do this?  I looked at the OnDataBound client event, but I'm not sure how to get the inserted record in this event.  I also need to do the same thing with the OnDelete event, but only if the delete was successful.

Hi Travis,

Generally speaking, the grid will rebind itself after a successful insert or delete operation. There is now way however, to get the inserted / deleted records during the OnDataBound event - the grid simply "does not know" what they are.
Could you please provide more details about what exactly do you want to achieve? There is maybe a way to achieve the desired result, but we need to get a better view over your exact scenario.

I'm using a treeview and a couple of grids that are bound upon selection of a treeview item.  Upon inserting a record into a grid I want to append that item to the treeview without having to rebind the entire treeview.  I am a bit new to MVC so I'm not sure how to communicate with my View about the inserted record.  I tried using ViewData to store the inserted record, but it doesn't work.  The ViewData doesn't persist to the view I think because the grid is using ajax to perform its operations.  I think I could probably store the inserted record information using the OnSave client event and then if the insert was successful, use the stored information during the OnDataBind event to edit the TreeView.  It all seems a bit complicated which is why I was hoping for some kind of "OnInserted" event.

It doesn't matter I guess, because the TreeView is also limited in that you cannot add nodes to the treeview using the API.  I would have to write some custom jquery script to make that modification.  I guess I will just have to rebind my entire treeview when an insert is made.  Oh joy.
