In Place editing loses field values in edit mode

[Vithiya]

I have a small grid with just two columns, Id and User. I have changed the grid's look and feel so that the Add can be done through a seperate button and it works. The grid has two editcolumns Edit and Delete. Delete works fine too. Clicking the edit button brings up the inplace edit boxes, but they are blank. Why am I missing those values? Here is my code for the grid definition and teh code behind for it.

The datasource is a datatable with three columns Id, User and Type.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="grdUsers" runat="server" runat="server" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" ShowHeader="False"
                OnNeedDataSource="grdUsers_NeedDataSource" OnPreRender="grdUsers_PreRender"
                AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None"
                Height="100px" Width="400px" OnItemCommand="grdUsers_ItemCommand" SkinID="WithBorder">
                 <HeaderContextMenu EnableTheming="True">
                    <CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" />
                </HeaderContextMenu>
                <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" ClientDataKeyNames="Id" EditMode="InPlace">
                    <RowIndicatorColumn>
                        <HeaderStyle Width="20px" />
                    </RowIndicatorColumn>
                    <ExpandCollapseColumn>
                        <HeaderStyle Width="20px" />
                    </ExpandCollapseColumn>
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton"
                            HeaderStyle-Width="30px" UniqueName="EditCommandColumn">
                        </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Id" UniqueName="Id" Visible="false">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="User" UniqueName="User">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" CommandName="Delete"
                            ConfirmDialogType="RadWindow" ConfirmText="Delete this entry?"
                            ConfirmTitle="Delete" HeaderStyle-Width="50px" Text="Delete"
                            UniqueName="DeleteColumn">
<HeaderStyle Width="50px"></HeaderStyle>

                            <ItemStyle CssClass="" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
                        </telerik:GridButtonColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
                <ClientSettings>
                    <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" />
                </ClientSettings>
                <FilterMenu EnableTheming="True">
                    <CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" />
                </FilterMenu>
            </telerik:RadGrid>

protected void grdUsers_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem;
            switch (e.CommandName)
            {
                case (RadGrid.DeleteCommandName):
                    editItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
                    DeleteItem(editItem);
                    grdUsers.Rebind();
                case RadGrid.UpdateCommandName:
                    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem)
                    {
                        editItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
                        UpdateItem(editItem);
                        grdUsers.Rebind();
                    }
                    break;
            }
        }

        protected void grdUsers_NeedDataSource(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
        {
            if (ViewState["dTable"] != null)
            {
                dTable = (DataTable)ViewState["dTable"];
                grdUsers.DataSource = dTable;
            }
        }

Hello Vithiya,

I do not see any specific reason for loosing values when attempt to edit.
However I noticed that you have attached handler to RadGrid.PreRender event. Please ensure that you are not performing some action that might cause loosing this values, i.e Rebind or something else.

I will also suggest you to not keep data source(DataTable object ViewState["dTable"] ) in ViewState.

Best wishes,
