How to check if Grid Item exists in second Grid

[Brett]

I have two RadGrids (RadGrid1 and RadGrid2)

In radgrid1 I have a list of jobs with a field called "JobID", on a button click, it inserts JobID and current username into another table which RadGrid2 is based on.

I would like to add a test/check to my button click event, that checks RadGrid2 to see if the JobID that is being inserted already exist in radgrid2, and if so pop-up a radalert saying that tells the user they already have that JobID in radgrid2.

I will inclide my current working code, so you can see where I am at, thnks for any help you can provide.

Hi,

A suggetsion would be to loop through the items of the RadGrid2 and check if the corresponding  job id matches the  job id  you are about to insert .

C#:

public void btnApply_Click(object as s ender , System.EventArgs e )
{
 foreach (GridDataItem dataItem in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
             if(dataItem["JobID"]==JobID)
                 Response.Write("Record already exists")
        }
}

Thanks,
Shinu

Hi Shinu.
 I modified your code to work in VB. and have pasted it below.  However I don't see how this compares the items between the two grids.  As soon as I apply for any job, all other jobs come back with "Sorry you have already appled for this job", when I haven't.

How do I chnage this code to compare the JobID between the two grids? (RadGrid1 and RadGrid2)

Protected Sub btnApply_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

        'Check to see if the applicant has already applied for this job
        For Each item As GridDataItem In RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items
            Dim btnApply As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
            Dim di As GridDataItem = DirectCast(btnApply.NamingContainer, GridDataItem)
            Dim currJobID As String = di("JobID").Text
            Dim diKeys As Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem = DirectCast(btnApply.NamingContainer, Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem)
            Dim varJobID As String = diKeys("JobId").Text

            If currJobID = varJobID Then
                RadAjaxManager1.ResponseScripts.Add("radalert('Sorry, you have already applied for this job.', 330, 210);")
                GoTo EXIT_SUB
            End If

        Next

After some fiddling I was ableto work out the kinks and have got my test working with the code below.

 'Check to see if the applicant has already applied for this job
        For Each item As GridDataItem In RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Items

            Dim curJobID As String = item("JobID").Text.ToString()

            Dim btnApply As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
            Dim di As GridDataItem = DirectCast(btnApply.NamingContainer, GridDataItem)
            Dim currJobID As String = di("JobID").Text
            Dim diKeys As GridDataItem = DirectCast(btnApply.NamingContainer, GridDataItem)
            Dim varJobID As String = diKeys("JobId").Text


            If curJobID = varJobID Then
                RadAjaxManager1.ResponseScripts.Add("radalert('Sorry, you have already applied for this job.', 330, 210);")
                GoTo EXIT_SUB
            End If

        Next

However, I now have an issue where my delete button will only work if it is the first button pushed after the page loads and it will only work once.  I will open a new thred for this.
