[Solved] Inline Upate in RadGrid using Client Side Binding

[Joshua Owen]

Hello,

I have a RadGrid bound to a WCF service on the client side.  I am trying to set up inline editing/updating.  Is this possible out of the box?  If not, how would you go about implementing it?

Regards,
Josh Owen

set your mastertable defintion to <MasterTableView EditMode="InPlace"

That doesn't solve it.  I need the RadGrid to post the update to a webservice.  The do_postback method is only posting the original information (filter, sort, page size, page #, and some custom information), not anything regarding updates.  Has anyone done this successfully?

Thanks,
Josh

you could use ajax to send the data to the web service....I like using JQuerys ajax functionality when needing to call another page while passing parameters.  Take a look at the following link.

Make sure the click the EXAMPLES tab in the middle of the page.

Thanks Thomas!

I received this answer from Todd Anglin:
Data editing with client-side binding is not a "out of the box" supported scenario. Web-service binding is generally best for "read-only" data scenarios as the complexity of updating the Grid's UI with column data editors quickly becomes complicated when all processing is done client-side. The recommended path for updating data with client-side data binding is to use an external form, as demonstrated here:

I decided the performance improvement wasn't worth the work and went with Server Side Binding.
