Gridview button

[Brady]

How do you code a button in a Gridview to change the value of a cell?

Hi Brady,

You can use this forum thread as a reference where you will find examples for getting a cell depending on its value or its row/column indices. In the two available projects the cell is just set to current, but you can also change its value on a button click like:

if (cell != null)
{
    cell.Value = "newValue";
}

However, in case this does not meet your exact requirements, please give us more details about your expectations and specifics about the cell whose value you want to change.

cell.Value = "newValue"; is not changing the cell value?

any ideas why?

Hi Brady,

Indeed, when testing the case with our latest version of RadControls, the value of the cell is not updated. We would investigate the issue and we will get back to you as soon as we are able to provide you with an accurate solution.
Please, excuse us for the inconvenience caused.

Is there any way I can use the previous version?
thanks for all your help

Hi Brady,

I may suggest you as a workaround (applicable also with our latest version) to change the value of the cell in the following way:

cell.ParentRow.Item.GetType().GetProperty(cell.DataColumn.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path).SetValue(cell.ParentRow.Item, newCellValue, null);

However, in order that to work and accomplish the desired result, you need to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged Interface.
Furthermore, as we are now in the process of developing the right method for changing the cell's value, we would greatly appreciate your feedback about the purpose and the scenario of your application.
Thank you in advance.

Best wishes,
