here is my code

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Mobil" UniqueName="TempMobil" Visible="False">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RangeValidator ID="RangeValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox2"

ErrorMessage="RangeValidator" MaximumValue="999999999" MinimumValue="00000000" Text="*"></asp:RangeValidator>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate><asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Mobil") %>'></asp:Label></ItemTemplate></telerik:GridTemplateColumn> 

protected void RadGrid2_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

string text = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("TextBox2")).Text;

}

Hello Anand,

Try this approach:

protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    TextBox textBox = (e.Item as GridEditFormItem)["CategoryID"].Controls[0] as TextBox;
}

Anand,

place a breakpoint over the line below and try to find out the desired control in the collection.

quote from Daniel's code snippet

TextBox textBox = (e.Item as GridEditFormItem)["CategoryID"].Controls[0] as TextBox;

Also make sure that you changed CategoryID to your column's actual name - TempMobil for example.

There are so many forum posts concerning this matter - you may just try the Search function as an alternative.

Hello Anand,

Try out the following code to access a control in the EditItemTemplate of  a TemplateColumn.
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Template1">
                     <EditItemTemplate>
                             <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                     </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

cs:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            TextBox txtBox = (TextBox)(e.Item as GridEditableItem)["Template1"].FindControl("TextBox1");
        }
    }

Princy.

Hi Anand,

Try the following code snippet in the UpdateCommand event and see if is working.

CS:

  protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)edititem["TempMobil"].FindControl("TextBox2");
    }

Thanks
Shinu.
