[Solved] Grid Data to Javascript Variable

[Josh]

Is it possible to get all dataitems in a grid and put in a javascript var.
Then, take that variable and set it to the datasource of another grid?
I found the get_dataItems() method, however, I dont know if this is
possible.

OR

Is there a way I can get the grid data into a C# datatable on the server
if I am using client side databinding?

Thanks.

Hello Josh,

Unfortunately, none of the two cases are supported off-the-shelf in RadGrid. Your client-side GridTableView object provides the get_dataItems() method that returns a collection of all data items (as client-side objects). You need to loop over your data item, traverse their cells and extract the values from there.

You can find attached a small page I have created that demonstrates this. The generated array of data objects can be serialized to JSON, or directly assigned as a data source to another RadGrid on the client.

As for the second scenario, RadGrid databound on the client does not carry any data back to the server. Therefore, you will not be able to access and RadGrid data to build a server-side DataTable.
