Help with Data Binding using GridTemplatecolumn in RadGrid

[Alex]

I have the below code, this so that I can get the Multiline Edit under the Auto Edit Feature. That part is working great data is bound to the edit portion, but in the actual Grid the columns are blank under these fields - the data is not being bound to the Grid, but is showing up when I open the Edit Popup Panel. Why is the data not showing in the initial grid:

Code:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="CorrectiveAction"
FilterControlAltText="Filter CorrectiveAction column" HeaderText="Corrective
Action" SortExpression="CorrectiveAction" UniqueName="CorrectiveAction"
Visible="false"><BR><EditItemTemplate><BR><asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2"
Text='<%# Bind("CorrectiveAction")%>' Columns="30" Rows="5"
TextMode="MultiLine"
runat="server"></asp:TextBox><BR></EditItemTemplate><BR></telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hi Alex,

You have to set the ItemTemplate of the GridTemplateColumn, it appears in column cells in browser mode.
Please keep in mind that when adding a template column, it is also recommended that you declare an ItemTemplate. If you do not need an ItemTemplate, you can simply omit its contents and leave it empty.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="CorrectiveAction" FilterControlAltText="Filter CorrectiveAction column" HeaderText="CorrectiveAction" SortExpression="CorrectiveAction" UniqueName="CorrectiveAction" Visible="true">
  <ItemTemplate>
      <%# Eval("CorrectiveAction")%>'
  </ItemTemplate>
  <EditItemTemplate>
     <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" Text='<%# Bind("CorrectiveAction")%>' TextMode="MultiLine" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br>
  </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,
Princy

Hi Aruna,

If you will display a script alert, you can use the client-side event of the textbox:

Hope this helps.
