Getting Datakeys of selected edit row

[Marcus]

HI,

I have a datagrid that is using a custom user control for insert/edit. When the user clicks 'edit' on a row I want to pass the Id datakey into my user control so that I can use it to do a db lookup. I'm sure it can be done but can't figure out how. Can anyone provide me with a solution?

Thanks!

Hello Marcus,

Check out the following code to access the datakeyvalue.
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" >
 <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Category" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" >
   ....

cs: 

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

{

GridEditableItem eeditedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

UserControl userControl = (UserControl)e.Item.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID);

//access the datakeyvalue

string strtxt= editedItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[editedItem.ItemIndex]["Category"].ToString();

}

}

Thanks
Princy.

Thanks Princy, that works great!

Is there an automated way to pass the datakey to the user control? I'm currently passing it as a session variable but I wonder if there's another (better) option?

Thanks,

Marcus.

Hi,

A  suggestion would be to create a property for the user control and set the property of the control to the required value in the ItemDataBound event.


Thanks,
