Grid - Perform insert when item inserted

[Steve]

Hi,

I can't get the data on my EditForm, please help.

        protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!Page.IsPostBack)
            {
                RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = true;//so I can insert after load
                RadGrid1.Rebind();
            }
        }

        protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName)
            {
                GridEditFormInsertItem f = (GridEditFormInsertItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetInsertItem();
                Person p = new Person();
                p.FirstName = (f.FindControl("FirstName") as TextBox).Text; //?? this control doesn't exist
            }
        }

        protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            GridEditFormInsertItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormInsertItem; //?? this is null
        }

        protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
        {
            RadGrid1.DataSource = Conselors;//loads a List<Person>
        }

Hi Steve,

I see that you are using a Template edit form, but I don't see the Insert/Update and Cancel button. On click of the Insert button the OnInsertCommand event fires and you can access the entered values there as follows:

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
  GridEditFormInsertItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormInsertItem;
 //Access the RadTextBox in editrform
  RadTextBox txtFirstName = (RadTextBox)item.FindControl("TextBoxAttorneyFirstName");
  string firstName = txtFirstName.Text;
}

Thanks,
Princy
