Try the following approach:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) |
{ |
GridFilteringItem item = e.Item as GridFilteringItem; |
if (item != null) |
{ |
yourValidator validator1 = new yourValidator(); |
validator1.ID = "validator1"; |
validator1.ControlToValidate = (item["yourColumn"].Controls[0] as TextBox).ID; |
item["yourColumn"].Controls.Add(validator1); |
} |
} |

Hello Maggi,
I suppose the reason for the error is that you use RadControls for ASP.NET and not RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.
It is possible to add the ID manually in the ItemCreated event handler in this case.

(item["Number"].Controls[0] as TextBox).ID = item.ClientID + "_FilteringTextBox"; |

hello all ,
i have the same problem .
i want to add some validatoers at some bounded column and i tried hardly to let it work but i failed so please help me in this issue :-
first of all i have grid has 4 Bounded column
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployerName" HeaderText="Employer Name" UniqueName="EmployerName"/>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Position" HeaderText="Position" UniqueName="Position" />
<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="FromDT" HeaderText="From" UniqueName="FromDT" />
<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="ToDT" HeaderText="To" UniqueName="ToDT"/>
i need to add 4 required validation on these column
i registered ItemCreated event and try to add validations like that
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
RequiredFieldValidator validator1 = new RequiredFieldValidator();
validator1.ID = "validator1";
validator1.ErrorMessage = " * " ;
(item["EmployerName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).ID = item.ClientID + "_TextBox";
validator1.ControlToValidate = (item["EmployerName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).ID;
item["EmployerName"].Controls.Add(validator1);
}
}
the vaildator worked well but at insert or update event handler after called extract values mehtod i figured that the value for the EmployerName column was always equal null .
item.ExtractValues(newValues); // newValues["EmployerName"] even if i entered value in the edit form
after that i tried to add the validator at item data bound event but it is still the same and the values returned null also.
i think when i changed the id of the item[ColumnUniqueName].control[0] the extract item didn't work well .
so i need help for my problem :)
