GridButtonColumn has no DataBind event

[Aleksandar]

This is very unfortunate as CommandArgument is very convinient place for Eval("SomeDataField"). That way finding what was clicked would be very easy in ItemCommand and simmilar events (Delete, Insert...). Please consider this as nice feature for future implementations.

PS
Finding what recordID is associated with ItemCommand is very dificult. This is what I do. Please correct if wrong:

        Select Case e.CommandName
            Case "CheckDeleted"
                Dim objItem As Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem = e.Item
                Dim intRankID As Integer = _
                CInt(Regex.Match(Mid(objItem.KeyValues, _
                objItem.KeyValues.LastIndexOf(":") + 3), "[0-9]{1,}").Value)
                'The rest of the code goes here, now when I know
                'what KeyValue was clicked on and caused postback (ItemCommand)
            Case "InitInsert"
                '....

        End Select

Hi Aleksandar,

I also tried the same and was not able to achieve the required scenario. But you can achieve the same using a GridTemplateColumn with a linkbutton in its ItemTemplate.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempCol2" HeaderText="TempCol2" >
                           <ItemTemplate>
                               <asp:LinkButton  Text="Check" ID="LinkButton2" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ProductID") %>' CommandName='<%#Eval("ProductName") %>' runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                  </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks Shinu,
I know about that option as that is how I use it now. GridButtonColumn option would be much easier to implement and is in the spirit of RAD. ItemCommands (delete, insert, edit...) would be easyer to track as well.

Hi Aleksandar,

Unfortunately your request can not be fulfilled because the GridColumn is not a binding container as the GridDataItem/GridEditableItem respectively (the same is true for the MS GridView control), hence you are not able to use binding expressions as part of the GridColumn tag.

Therefore you may consider the workaround with the template column explained by Shinu in his post.

Kind regards,
