Help functions to Radgrid Insert Command

[Auvo]

Hi,

I have used InsertCommand when inserting new rows to the radgrid.

  

protected void grvTasks_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    var editableItem = ((GridEditableItem)e.Item);

    GetTasks();

    if (_taskListMain != null)
    {
        Task newTask = new Task(_taskListMain.DataConnections);

        Hashtable values = new Hashtable();
        editableItem.ExtractValues(values);

        if (values["Name"] != null)
            newTask.Name = (string)values["Name"];

        if (values["Description"] != null)
            newTask.Description = (string)values["Description"];

        if (values["EstimateInHours"] != null)
            newTask.EstimateInHours = int.Parse(values["EstimateInHours"].ToString());


        _taskListMain.Tasks.TaskRows.Add(newTask);
        _taskListMain.Tasks.Save();
    }
}

 

I copy data from each field from hashtable to the final class properties. This means lot of rows if there are lot of fields, so I wondering is there another way to copy inserted data from GridEditableItem to final custom class? e.g. Similar function what is use in UpdateCommand ( editableItem.UpdateValues(task);)

 

Regards,

Hi Auvo,

When using manual CRUD operations you need to extract the values entered by the user and update the corresponding fields in the data source.

Alternatively you could use Automatic DataSource operations with RadGrid. Note that automatic operations are available only for declarative DataSource controls. Also, the data source should support automatic operations. Check out the following article for additional information on the feature.
