GridBoundColumn Validator issue

[Michael Nagy]

Hello ,

I want to add some validates at bounded columns , I  tried hardly to let it work but I failed so please help me in this issue :-
first of all i have grid has 4 Bounded column
 <telerik:GridBoundColumn  DataField="EmployerName" HeaderText="Employer&nbsp;Name"  UniqueName="EmployerName"/>
 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Position" HeaderText="Position" UniqueName="Position" />
 <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="FromDT" HeaderText="From" UniqueName="FromDT" />
 <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="ToDT" HeaderText="To" UniqueName="ToDT"/>

I need to add 4 required validation on these column
I registered ItemCreated event and tried to add validations like that
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            RequiredFieldValidator validator1 = new RequiredFieldValidator();
            validator1.ID = "validator1";
            validator1.ErrorMessage = " * " ;
            (item["EmployerName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).ID = item.ClientID + "_TextBox";
            validator1.ControlToValidate = (item["EmployerName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).ID;
            item["EmployerName"].Controls.Add(validator1);
        }
  }

Vaildators worked well but at insert or update event handler after called extract values method , I figured that the value for the EmployerName and Position columns was always equal null and other have values.

item.ExtractValues(newValues); // newValues["EmployerName"] , Although I entered value in the edit form

after that I tried to add the Vaildators at item data bound event but it is still the same and the values returned null also.

I think when I changed the id of the item[ColumnUniqueName].control[0] the extract item didn't work well .

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the provided code. It's exactly as I thought. Please attach your handler (ItemCreated) in the declaration of your RadGrid and let me know whether this helps.
