Get Results from Grid in Post HttpVerb

[Nick Devore]

I'm enhancing our ticket tracking system to allow users to organize the priority of their tickets similar to a Netflix queue.  I'm using the RadGrid to display all the tickets with an "Precedent Number" column that is a HtmlHelper.TextBox inside of an ItemTemplate column.

The view code looks like this:

	<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
	<div style="width: 100%;">
	<div style="float: left;">
	<input type="submit" value="Save Queue Changes" /></div>
	<div style="float: right; text-align: right;">
	<%= String.Format("{0} Tickets in Queue", Model.Rows.Count) %></div>
	</div>
	<telerik:RadGrid ID="rgTickets" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" Style="clear: both;">
	<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="CallId" EditMode="InPlace">
	<Columns>
	<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
	<HeaderStyle Width="50px" />
	<ItemStyle Width="50px" />
	<ItemTemplate>
	<%# Html.TextBox("Precedence", Eval("Precedence"), new { width = "25px" })%>
	<%# Html.ActionLink("Move To Top", "MoveToTop", new { ticketId = ((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["CallId"], queueId = ((QueueDefEntity)ViewData["QueueDef"]).QueueId })%>
	<br />
	<%# Eval("InsertDate").ToString().Length > 0 ? string.Format("Prioritized by {0} <br />{1}",Eval("InsertUser"),Eval("InsertDate")) : "" %>
	</ItemTemplate>
	</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CallId" UniqueName="CallId" HeaderText="Ticket Number" />
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CallDesc" UniqueName="CallDesc" HeaderText="Problem Description" />
	<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ReceivedTimestamp" UniqueName="ReceivedTimestamp"
	HeaderText="Received" DataFormatString="{0:dd MMM yyyy h:mm tt}" />
	</Columns>
	</MasterTableView>
	</telerik:RadGrid>
	<% } %>

When the user clicks the "Save Queue Changes" submit button, how do I get at the values inside of each text box?  My view is typed as such:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<System.Data.DataTable>" %>

...what should I be expecting in my controller action method as a return value to enumerate through all the rows in the grid?

Hello Nick,

You may retrieve the values from the posted fields inside the Controller using a Request's Form object.
Please refer to this blog post for an example of how to update data using RadGrid control in a MVC environment.
