Grid inserts without datasource

[JedF]

Hello

I have a grid that i want to insert new rows into but i dont want the rows committing to the database. This is the top of my grid.
Is this possible?

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="grdInvoiceLines" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
                GridLines="Both" ShowFooter="true" ShowHeader="true" AllowMultiRowSelection="false" AllowAutomaticDeletes="True"
            AllowAutomaticInserts="True" PageSize="10" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" OnItemUpdated="grdInvoiceLines_ItemUpdated"
            OnItemDeleted="grdInvoiceLines_ItemDeleted" OnItemInserted="grdInvoiceLines_ItemInserted" OnDataBound="grdInvoiceLines_DataBound">
                <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="InvoiceLineId" CommandItemDisplay="Top" ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="true"
                    EditMode="InPlace" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True">

I want to store the inserted values in viewstate. 

Thanks In advance

Hello,

If you dont want to use DataBase, you can provide data source for RadGrid control probably by using a DataTable or DataSet control. You can insert new rows to DataTable instance and then assign as the DataSource property of the control.

Check out the following Demo for more information on using different data sources.

Hello JedF,

You can use the InsertCommand event and there you can store the new item wherever you like. Also note that you can store in viewstate only object that are serializable, so generally it is not a good practice to store a lot of data there. Here is how you can retrieve the new values in the InsertCommand event:

protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(ht, e.Item as GridEditableItem);
        //ht will contain the newly inserted values
    }

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,
