How to get the bound entity of editing record in UpdateCommand event

How to get the bound entity of editing record in UpdateCommand event? For example, I bound a List<Customer> to a RadGrid, when I clicking save button to fire the RadGridFunction_UpdateCommand event, I have no way to get the Customer entity of editing record. Because I don't want to retrieve the record based on current primary key from DB, I only want to get from bound source.

Hi,

The post cannot fix my problem. I want to get the bound entity class instead of updated value in hashtable.

Hello,

sorry but we can not get bound entity in insert/update/delete commnad/event.

You can only get bound entity in itemdatabound event.

I check your sample code. In updateing event, you will retrieve the entity class from DB first based on edited record primary key, then call e.item.UpdateValues to update the entity class, then call Context method to update record to DB. I think the good way is that get the bound entity instead of get it from DB again. It have two advantages:
1.Get more performance due to reduce one DB calling.
2.Easy to prompt user information while the concurrent updating.Because after one record to be bound in GridView, it will have a version_no field to be indicated.After user edit the record, if we can get version_no field from bound record, we can easy to check the concurrent operation in DB based on comparing the passed version_no field and the latest value in DB.
