[Solved] 'GridEditFormInsertItem' is a type and cannot be used as an expression

[daniel coppee]

When I try to use the following code for a pop-up edit template I get the above error.

<tr>
Line 462:                                <td align="right" colspan="2">
Line 463:                                    <asp:Button ID="Button3" Text='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "Insert" : "Update" %>'
Line 464:                                        runat="server" CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>'>
Line 465:                                    </asp:Button>&nbsp;


I took this code from the pop-up example

regards

Daniel

Hello daniel,

If this is VB.NET you can check this example:

Hi Vlad,

Yes I know. I took the code straight from this example and still got the error.

The (atleast mine but it's a copy of yours) pop-up does not works with this code

Hi daniel,

You missed the VB.NET version of the binding expression:

Iif (TypeOf Container is GridEditFormInsertItem, "Insert", "Update")

Hello Vlad,

This does not work either. In the sample code, it is posted as Danial had it, not this way. NEITHER WAY works, and I get the following errors:

Error 34 Expression expected. C:\Users\jhoell\AppData\Local\Temp\VWDWebCache\csg-ns1_PolicyTracTEST\AddUploadDocsNF.aspx 225 

Error 50 'GridEditFormInsertItem' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. C:\Users\jhoell\AppData\Local\Temp\VWDWebCache\csg-ns1_PolicyTracTEST\AddUploadDocsNF.aspx 1 1 http://csg-ns1/PolicyTracTEST/

Error 51 The '?' character cannot be used here. C:\Users\jhoell\AppData\Local\Temp\VWDWebCache\csg-ns1_PolicyTracTEST\AddUploadDocsNF.aspx 1 1 http://csg-ns1/PolicyTracTEST/

Hello Jim,

You can find the C# and VB.NET version of the example in your local RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installation at the following default location:

C:\Program Files\telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2009\Live Demos\Grid\Examples\DataEditing\PopUpEditForm

Review and test the code from there and let us know if you have further questions.
