Grid with Validation issue

[Ryan]

I have a rad grid with ADD/Update all working correctly.  Above the grid on the I have a select box and date picker that is used in filtering the data that is bound to my grid.

I added a RequiredFieldValidator to two of the column columns.

If I change the select box above the grid and rebind the grid while the user is in "Add" mode, the Validator is triggered and the grid stays in add mode...


Is there a way to force the grid to refresh and not be left in add mode from the validation.  If I take out the field validation, then all works as expected.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="sFirstName"
            FilterControlAltText="Filter sFirstName column" HeaderText="First Name"
            SortExpression="sFirstName" UniqueName="sFirstName">
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox ID="sFirstNameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("sFirstName") %>' MaxLength="50"></asp:TextBox>

                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvFirstName" ControlToValidate="sFirstNameTextBox"
                    ErrorMessage="*Required" Display="Static" runat="server" ForeColor="Red">
                </asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

            </EditItemTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="sFirstNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("sFirstName") %>'></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Here is a little more that might help.

    <asp:Label ID="lblSite" runat="server" Text="Site"></asp:Label>
    <telerik:RadDropDownList ID="ddlSite" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"  DataTextField="Facility"
                DataValueField="Facility_ID" Width="450px">
    </telerik:RadDropDownList>
    <asp:Label ID="lblDOS" runat="server" Text="DOS"></asp:Label>
    <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dpDOS" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
        MinDate="2013-06-01" Width="150px">
    </telerik:RadDatePicker>


 <telerik:RadGrid ID="gvPatientList" runat="server" CellSpacing="0"
        DataSourceID="dsPatientList" GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<MasterTableView DataSourceID="dsPatientList" DataKeyNames="PatientID" AllowAutomaticInserts="True" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" CommandItemDisplay="Top" RetrieveNullAsDBNull ="True">
<CommandItemSettings ExportToPdfText="Export to PDF"></CommandItemSettings>

<RowIndicatorColumn Visible="True" FilterControlAltText="Filter RowIndicator column">
<HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle>
</RowIndicatorColumn>

<ExpandCollapseColumn Visible="True" FilterControlAltText="Filter ExpandColumn column">
<HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle>
</ExpandCollapseColumn>

    <Columns>
 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="sFirstName"
            FilterControlAltText="Filter sFirstName column" HeaderText="First Name"
            SortExpression="sFirstName" UniqueName="sFirstName">
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox ID="sFirstNameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("sFirstName") %>' MaxLength="50"></asp:TextBox>

                <%--<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvFirstName" ControlToValidate="sFirstNameTextBox"
                    ErrorMessage="*Required" Display="Static" runat="server" ForeColor="Red">
                </asp:RequiredFieldValidator>--%>

            </EditItemTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="sFirstNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("sFirstName") %>'></asp:Label>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    </Columns>
</MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Hi Ryan,

A possible solution is to set MasterTableView's IsItemInserted property to false and rebind the grid. This way the insert form will be closed. Check out the following code snippet.

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.IsItemInserted = false;
