I'm having a problem with using a popup edit form with a RadGrid.

We are in a completely disconnected environment - all data is retrieved and updated through a WCF web service and in general is returned as LLBLGen entities/EntityCollection(s).  Nearly everything about this setup works (initial grid display, viewing the edit form in read-only, updating the database, etc.).  All database functionality is working great - the code-behind commands fire fine and the data in the database is inserted/updated.  The grid refreshes fine after inserts/updates as well, however, when performing an insert the popup editor stays on the screen and I get a javascript error:

"Insert item is available only when grid is in insert mode". 

When I run in debug mode, it's not throwing the error anywhere in code-behind, but somewhere in all the auto-generated ajax javascript, so I can't tell what exactly is causing the error.

ASPX:

I've tried all the suggestions from the forums that I could find, including doing the "e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted = false;" command, doing a rebind after that, setting the AllowAutomaticInserts to false, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I believe I have found the fix to my issue.  In the InsertCommand handler, before I rebind the grid I added:

e.Canceled = true

That seems to have done the trick.
