Hi. I have nested listview . Child Listview has onneeddatasource. but i cant Access any DataKeyValue or custom control attribute in  OnNeedDataSource . both listviews are inside ajaxpanel.
There is an old post about it here. strange i can reach these values from itemcommand of child listview, But i cant access anything from needdatasource event. thanks.

basic skeleton:

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="apanelParent" runat="server"
                ViewStateMode="Enabled"
                EnableViewState="true">
     <telerik:RadListView ID="lvParent" runat="server"
                    DataKeyNames="CId"
                    DataSourceID="OADLSParent"
                    ViewStateMode="Enabled"
                    EnableViewState="true">
               <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:HiddenField ID="hfCid2" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("CId") %>' />
                          <telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="apanelChild" runat="server"
              ViewStateMode="Enabled" EnableViewState="true">
                      <telerik:RadButton ID="btnShowChildInsertItem" runat="server"
                                        ViewStateMode="Enabled"
                                        EnableViewState="true"
                                        Text="insert input"
                                        OnClick="btnShowChildInsertItem_Click"
                                        cId='<%# Eval("CId") %>'
                                        CommandArgument='<%#Container.DataItemIndex%>'>
                    </telerik:RadButton>
                    <telerik:RadListView ID="lvChild" runat="server"
                                        DataKeyNames="Id"
                                        EnableViewState="true"
                                        ViewStateMode="Enabled"
                                        InsertItemPosition="FirstItem"
                                        AllowPaging="True"
                                        PageSize="5"
                                        OnNeedDataSource="lvChild_NeedDataSource"
                                        OnItemCommand="lvChild_ItemCommand">
                    </telerik:RadListView>
                   </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>
              </ItemTemplate>
       </telerik:RadListView>
  </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

 
OnNeedDataSource of child:

protected void lvChild_NeedDataSource(object sender, RadListViewNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

       {

               RadListView lvChild = (RadListView)sender;

               RadListViewDataItem parentItem = (RadListViewDataItem)lvChild.NamingContainer;

 

              var parentCevapId = (int)parentItem.GetDataKeyValue("CId");//null.null exception

 

               RadButton rb = (RadButton)parentItem.FindControl("btnShowChildInsertItem");

               int cId = Convert.ToInt32(rb.Attributes["cId"]);//null.there is rb but no attr.

 

               HiddenField hf2 = (HiddenField)parentItem.FindControl("hfCid2");
//there is an hf2 but no value

               string cId3 = hf2.Value.ToString();//null

Hello Cuneyt,

I made a runnable demo based on your code. I'm afraid however that I'm unable to reproduce the problem you mentioned. Please download the attached demo (runnable website with assemblies removed) and let me know whether it works properly at your side. If it does, you can try replacing the datasource for the outer ListView with your own datasource. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Thank you. I had mistake about binding location of child listview. I filled child listview in parent itemdatabound event. Problem is solved. Regads. Thank you for your patient.
