Hi,

I have a RadGrid that I dynamically build at runtime, eg:

templateColumn = new GridTemplateColumn();
                templateColumn.UniqueName = "Column" + (i + 1).ToString();
                pt = new PresentationTemplate(0, "OnValueChanged", templateColumn.UniqueName);
                templateColumn.ItemTemplate = pt;
                templateColumn.FooterTemplate = new LabelTemplate("0", "lblFooter" + (i + 1).ToString());
                templateColumn.DataField =  "Column" + i;
                RadGridGroup.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(templateColumn);



The template columns only allow numeric inputs.

I want to get the values of the template columns textboxes, eg:

 foreach (GridDataItem gridRow in RadGridGroup.MasterTableView.Items)
            {
                RadNumericTextboxExtended textBox = gridRow.FindControl("0Column1") as RadNumericTextboxExtended;



This works when the columns are specified at design time (in the aspx), how can I get the values of these template column cells when I create the columns at runtime??

Thanks in advance

Hi,

    I found the problem. If you create GridTemplateColumn at runtime, you have to build the grid in PageInit event.

Reference:
Creating columns on PageLoad when !Page.IsPostBack is not a problem for all column types except for GridTemplateColumns. In order to persist their ViewState you need to generate your grid completely in the code-behind (on PageInit). Thus the template controls will be retained as they will be instantiated before LoadViewState event of the page
