How to insert record using grid

[Sumanth]

Hi,

Sorry for my basic question.

I am replacing Asp.net ListView with telerik grid. In my list view, i am using InsertItem template to insert records into database. To achieve same thing in rad grid, am using EditFormSettings, FormTemplate and CommandItem properties of gird. But nothing is displaying when am clicking add new record button. (am expecting controls to display which are defined in FormTemplate.

Could you please help on this regard.

Any sample would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sumanth

Hi Sumanth,

To handle the actual insert operation when the user hits the Insert button, you can hook the InsertCommand event of Telerik RadGrid or the ItemCommand event (checking whether e.CommandName is RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName) as explained in this article.

Additionally, you can review this online demo to see the approach in real-life example.

Hello Sumanth,


Have you set the EditFormSettings - EditFormType as "Template" to show the customized edit/insert form?

Hi Pavlina,

I guess, that link (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdinsertingvaluesusercontrolformtemplate.html) describing to store data in data base which is entered by user. But here my problem is, once i click on "Add new record" button, nothing is displaying on my screen including grid.

Thanks,

Hi,

I forgot to call bind method in ItemCommand event. That is the problem. Thanks for all for your help.
