[Solved] Getting grid item value when editing inlline

[Steve Hochreiter]

I'm using the following code to retrieve a value from a grid column and it keeps returning the "&nbsp ;" instead of the value in the column.  I've used this code before with the Q3 2007 version so I don't know if it will work for the AJAX version.  The dropdown is created and is loaded properly.  All I need to do is set the dropdown selected value to what is in the record.  The column "TimeCodeID" is Display=false.  I've tried Display=true with the same problem. Any idea what I can do to get the value of the column?  Thank you.

<

telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="TimeCodeID" HeaderText="Time Code ID" UniqueName="TimeCodeID" DataType="System.Int32" Display="False">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

protected

void RadGridEdit_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)

{

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

{

GridEditableItem editItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

DropDownList ddlTimeCode = (DropDownList)editItem["TimeCode"].FindControl("ddlTimeCode");

ddlTimeCode.Items.Clear();
ddlTimeCode.DataSource = tblTimeCode.GetCache(DBConnection);
ddlTimeCode.DataTextField = "TimeCode";
ddlTimeCode.DataValueField = "ID";
ddlTimeCode.DataBind();

if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)

{

}

else

{

GridEditableItem myItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

//This line returns &nbsp instead of the value in the column
string strTimeCodeID = myItem["TimeCodeID"].Text;

//set dropdown to show what was selected

ddlTimeCode.SelectedValue = strTimeCodeID;

}

}

Hi Steve,

Try accessing it as GridDataItem as shown below.

CS:

   else if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem myItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string strTimeCodeID = myItem["TimeCodeID"].Text.ToString();
        }

Thanks
Shinu.

Well, it still returns &nbsp for the value using the new code.  This is executing in the ItemCreated section.  Anymore ideas?  Thank you.

Hi Steve,

Set the "TimeCodeID" field as the DataKeyName and try accessing it as shown below.

CS:

 else if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem myItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string strTimeCodeID =myItem.GetDataKeyValue("TimeCodeID").ToString();
        }

Thanks
Shinu.
