Grid dynamicdata metadata support

[Forascu]

Hi,
I would like to know if you plan to add support for using radgrid with dynamicdata metadata. For example gridview has a .SetMetaTable(Metatable) method that allows to load type metadata for display. Is there another solution to do this?

Hello Forascu,

Actually SetMetaTable is extension method that can be applied on INamingContainer. For your convenience I am attaching sample DynamicData application.

Thanks for the sample project. It works fine but when I tried to copy Telerik-based files into my DD 4.0 web application (not website!) and assigning project's namespaces I ended up with complication errors like:

Error 1 The name 'TextBox1' does not exist in the current context <path>\DynamicData\FieldTemplates\MultilineTextTelerik_Edit.ascx.cs 15 13 MyNamespace

The same error is for a regular asp.net control located after the radcontrol.
Error 5 The name 'RequiredFieldValidator1' does not exist in the current context <path>\DynamicData\FieldTemplates\MultilineTextTelerik_Edit.ascx.cs 18 28 MyNamespace

It's wierd becuase rad controls are rendered fine in design-time. To refer to the telerik dll I did:
1. Copied Telerik.Web.UI.dll into bin folder
2. Added a reference to it
3. Added manually in web.config:

<system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false"/>
    </httpHandlers>
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="Telerik_Web_UI_WebResource_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

Any help will be appreciated.

Found what the issue was - I need to remove/add controls to let ...ascx.designer.cs file to be generated properly.

Hi Nikolay,I'm looking at the code in the sample you posted here and is shows

 

<dynamic:DynamicRadGrid

 

and adds a referance here 

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dynamic" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI.DynamicData" %>

How do I find these controls to add to the page can I add them to the toolbox?
Also I don't seem to be able to fine the namespace "Telerik.Web.UI.DynamicData" shown above.

Hello Stephen,

As my colleague Sebastian mentioned RadGrid for DynamicData is distributed separately  and  you can keep track on the update on our blogs.
