Grid does not enters into edit mode

Hello,

I have this code on the .aspx code:

            {

            }     
        }

        {
            try
            {

                var freezeID = item.GetDataKeyValue("FreezeID").ToString();
                Domain.Freeze oldFreeze = freezeRepo.GetFreeze(Convert.ToInt16(freezeID));
                item.UpdateValues(oldFreeze);
                freezeRepo.Save();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                RadWindowManagerUI.RadAlert("Unable to save your information. make sure the combination you are entering is unique for the selected freezer. Additional information: " + ex.Message, 330, 100, "DNA CellLab", null);
            }
        }
    }

When the grid is displayed in the page, everything seems fine. The links on the grid work correctly. The deletes are completed. Everything is OK except the edit command. When I click on the pencil icon, I can see the ajax icon spinning, but it never enters into edit mode. In the code I have it to show the edit as a popup window, but even if I try the inline mode, it does not work. Help...

Hello Chris,

Could you please try the below different scenarios to isolate the cause for this behaviour

1) Disable the Ajax on the page and verify if the issue appears with regular postback.
2)Add a GridButtonColumn and the CommandName property to Edit . Check if this puts the grid in edit mode
3)Remove the column editors from the EditItemTemplate of the MasterTableView and place it outside the grid as demonstrated in the link below:

Please let me know what the results of the provided test steps are so we could further investigate the issue.

All the best,

Maria,

Thank you for your help. When I removed the ajax panel I discovered the error. I had 4 RadDatePicker components with the same name in the grid, and asp.net did not liked that. I renamed the controls and now the edit box shows nicely.

Thanks!
