GridEditCommandColumn update function

[Sharon]

Hi,

I'm new to telerik products and fairly new to ASP.net AJAX.  I have a panel that displays textbook information and allows the user to Edit or Delete a book from the list.  When the user selects Edit, the window for that record expands and the user can change the status of the book.  They then hit either Update or Cancel.  When the user hits Update, it saves the new status and the display goes back to the form before the user hit Edit.

What I want to do is perform additional updates on other tables when the user updates the status.  I need to know how I can set the panel to perform the additional updates - the updates are different for the different statuses.

Thanks in advance,
Sharon

Hi Sharon,

You could simply cancel the UpdateCommand and perform the additional logic you need like this;

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.UpdateCommandName)
        {
            e.Canceled = true;
            //your additional logic here
        }
    }

I hope this helps.
