Hi,

I have tried searching for this issue, but not found a relevant post, so here is my question/problem.

Using 2008 Q3 RadGrid (Ajax), Dot net 3.5

The GridGroupFooterItem does not allow reference to a column by UniqueName, this contrasts with GridDataItem and GridFooterItem.

Basically, in the ItemDataBound event, if e.Item is a GridDataItem or a GridFooterItem, it is possible to reference a partiucular column by the column UniqueName using CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)("UniqueName").Text or CType(e.Item, GridFooterItem)("UniqueName").Text.

Unfortunately, when e.Item is a GridGroupFooterItem, this technique no longer works (Get an error about no default property). I would guess that since GroupFooters were a recent addition, the particular feature was just forgotten.

Of course I don't want to use numeric indexes CType(e.Item, GridGroupFooterItem).Cells(xx) since that breaks the column independence idea of UniqueNames.

How can I dynamically discover the cell (or the cell index) from the unique name?

Hello Andrew,

Indeed, the only work-around for this problem is to use the Cells collection of the GridGroupFooterItem object since the latter doesn't support indexing by unique column names.

Hi Tsvetoslav

Thanks for confirming the issue. Is there any chance this might get rectified in a future release/bug fix?

Yes, we will investigate this possibility and consider its implementation for one of the coming releases.
