Grouping fieldnames

[Andy]

hi,

  i have a populated grid on a web page. and a server side button. clicking on this button, i want to find out what columns have been used in the grouping.

  i've tried this :

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (GroupItemCell oCell in grdPendingOrders.GroupPanel.GroupPanelItems)
            {
                foreach (Control ctrl in oCell.Controls)
                {
                    if (ctrl is System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton)
                    {
                        System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton button = ctrl as System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton;

                    }
                }
            }
        }

i thought perhaps from the button i could get the fieldname. (the fieldname is all i want)

but all controls are literals, no imagebuttons. but the grid is populated with data - i thought it might be a post back issue.

can you please help

thanks

andy

i should also point out that the grouppanel.grouppanelitems object always matches the number of fields i have selected in the group by expression. BUT, when i drill down, i can't see any reference to the name of the fields. I thought text might have been it, but it's always blank.

Hello Andy,

You can try the following code snippet to get the fieldname of the columns that have been used for grouping.

C#:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

foreach (GridGroupByExpression expression in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GroupByExpressions)

{

string fieldname = expression.GroupByFields[0].FieldName;

}

}

Regards,
Shinu.
