Insert a column with a checkbox and two radiobuttons

[Christian]

What is the best way to insert via codebehind a column with a checkbox and two radiobuttons into a grid?

with GridTemplateColumn and GridTemplateColumn?

Hi,

You can use a GridTemplateColumn to achieve the desired scenario. Go through the following forum link which explains how to add a GridTemplateColumn in the code behind.

Perhaps a simple question:

When I bind the data as shown in the article, how can I then get in the codebehind the information which Radiobutton the user has selected?

Hi Christian,

Try attaching the same CheckChanged event handler for the both the RadioButtons and you can identify the currently Checked RadioButton inside the CheckChanged event as shown below.

CS:

            RadioButton1.AutoPostBack = true;
            RadioButton2.AutoPostBack = true;
            RadioButton1.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(RadioButton1_CheckedChanged);
            RadioButton2.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(RadioButton1_CheckedChanged);

 void RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadioButton RadBtn = (RadioButton)sender;
        string RadBtnID = RadBtn.ID;
    }

Thanks

Hi Princy,

thanks for the code.

Your solution means that each time the user clicks on a radiobutton ths fires a postback to the server. We have much data and when the user clicks on many buttons then this need (to much) time.

Are there any other possibilities to get the information about the checked radiobuttons after the submit of the page?

thanks

Is this a good idea?
 
- create a javascript-event onclick for each Radiobutton and checkbox.
- with the Javascript-onclick event I remember the clicked radiobutton and write it in a hidden textfield
- after the submit I read the textfield in the code behind and write the changes into the dataset

thanks
