[Solved] InPlace Insert Row with Client-Side Binding

[Steven]

When I am in server side datasource binding, I can initiate an inplace editing row by firing an "InitInsert" command. However, when I am in client-side binding, there is no way to bring up such editing row without the RadGrid posting back to the server code and re-rendering. 

Even getting the editing row with the server re-rendering, clicking the "Insert" linkbutton doesn't seem to post back the newly inserted data in the OnInsertCommand. 

I found the example with Form editing using another grid from the Demo. However, it is not quite what I am looking for. 

The reason I want to use Client-Side binding is because of its response performance. I hope someone has the similar issue can shed some lights here. 

Thanks.

Hi Steven,

Currently RadGrid does not support data editing with internal auto-generated edit/insert form when using client-side binding. A possible solution for your case would be to use an external edit/insert form and populate it on the client as shown in this demo of the product.

Kind regards,

Hi Sebastian

Does RadGrid support data editing with inline edit/insert form under these conditions?  Additionally does RadGrid support the EditItemTemplate of the GridTemplateColumn if the grid was bound client side initially in the non-edit (ItemTemplate) view?

I have spent the last three days researching some kind of example of this type and I have turned up nothing. 

Thanks!

Looks like I wrote this too soon - I came across this forum post right afterwards:  http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/grid-client-side-inline-edit.aspx

My questions were fully answered in that post.  Thanks and sorry.
