[Solved] How to see previously inserted data in edit mode in RadGrid?

[Katarina]

I have RadGrid with GridTemplateColumns. In ItemTemplate it is label and in EditItemTemplate it is texbox. When grid goes in edit mode, I can't see prevoiusly inserted data (what was in label before I click on Edit button).
I tried with EditCommand, but when that event is fired -- that control is label ( I can put some data in it). But that control becomes texbox later -- and I dont know how to get that textbox: is there some other event for that? I can get that textbox in UpdateCommand but that's too late.

Hi Katarina,

It is too early to access the Edit form in the EdiCommand event of the grid. Instead you can access the TextBox in the ItemDataBound event of the RadGrid as shown below.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
        TextBox textbox = (TextBox)dataItem.FindControl("TextBoxControlID");
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
