I have created a radgrid that displays labels in the first column and input controls in column 2. Column 2 can have either textbox or DropDownList controls. What I can't figure out is how to get the values of the input controls when the form is submitted
I have tried the following but the XControl is always null. I would like to return the grid contents as XML if possible
foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
{
TextBox xControl = item["AttributeType"].FindControl("tb") as TextBox;
}
Any help/ideas would greatly be appreciated!!!

Hi,
You will need to create the controls both in the ItemDataBound and ItemCreated events.This will enable you to access the controls in the a postback such as a button click.
C#
| protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) |
| { |
| if (e.Item is GridDataItem) |
| { |
| GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem; |
| TextBox xControl = new TextBox(); |
| xControl.ID = "tb"; |
| xControl.Text = ""; |
| xControl.Width = 75; |
| xControl.MaxLength = 7; |
| xControl.ValidationGroup = "GridControls"; |
| item["ProductID"].Controls.Add(xControl); |
| } |
| } |
| protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) |
| { |
| if (e.Item is GridDataItem) |
| { |
| GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem; |
| TextBox xControl = new TextBox(); |
| xControl.ID = "tb"; |
| xControl.Text = ""; |
| xControl.Width = 75; |
| xControl.MaxLength = 7; |
| xControl.ValidationGroup = "GridControls"; |
| item["ProductID"].Controls.Add(xControl); |
| } |
| } |
| protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) |
| { |
| foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items) |
| { |
| TextBox xControl = item["ProductID"].FindControl("tb") as TextBox; |
| } |
| } |
Thanks,

I tried your example but I still can't read values that I enter into the radgrid dynamic controls. I attached a working copy of the aspx and the code behind. Also when I use the ItemDataBound and the ItemCreated events I get duplicate controls.

I create controls in Item-created Event and fill it with data in Item-Data-bound Event. But with Save Button Click event the new values are always overwritten with old values. I believe the Item-created and Item-Data-Bound are called before Save Button Click Event. You can use Is-post-back but I use AJAX with a user-control that I load dynamically, thus it is always a post-back. What else can I do?

I played with On-Need-Data-Source event and now it only bind data once, but still no luck with getting the new values, because it calls the On-init event before save click event. In my On-init event I build the Columns Dynamically and in On-Need-Data-Source I set the data-source, then it will call Item-created<build controls> Event and Item-Data-bound<set control values> Event in the right manner. Ajax is in the parent page and the Rad-grid is in the user-control. What am I missing?

solution:
1. Parent Page with Ajax Settings (Rad Grid Light Binding)
a. use Load Event and onChange events of controls to determine diffrent scenarious of child controls
b. Build User Control each time on its OnInit Event
2. Child User Control (Advance Binding - OnNeedDataSource)
a. use OnInit Event to create the columns (to deep copy from the temp GridTemplateColumn in ASP.net)
b. use RadAjaxManagerProxy
c. OnInit Event (build columns)
i. Columns must use ItemTemplate and EditTemplage in the temp GridTemplateColumn with Binding Text='<%# Bind("TimeInterval") %>'
ii. Add all the diffrent controls like checkbox, radnumericbox, radtextbox, datetimepickers, combobox...
iii. Controls must use events:
- OnInit
* (set Unique Id's, but Id's must be stored in server object or session variable, becuase it must be the same on each init create)
* (set the visibility of the Control you want to use to true and the other to false, thus if this is the dataType and control to use set the visibility to true else false
- OnDataBinding
* (bind to server object with correct dataField, can get dataField from GridTemplateColumn)
- OnPreRender
* (set the column and row selectable, this is important if you want to make RadGrid like Excell data input and use the EditTemplate, this is very important for saving of data)
- OnTextChange (validation with Session variables)
- EditItemTemplate contains OnInit and OnTextChange events
- ItemTemplate contains OnInit and OnDataBinding events and OnPreRender
