[Solved] Insert record using hierarchial grid and user control

[Melanie]

Hi,

I have created a master gridview with a child gridview and I would like to insert a new record into the child grid using a user control. 

My only problem is that in this child user control, I need to know which parent record the child record belongs to.  Is there a way from within the user control to determine this?  

Thanks,
Mel

Hello Melanie,

Here's an example of how to access the parent item of a child record while inserting and set the property of the user control with a field value of the parent item:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail")
        {
            GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
            MyUserControl usercntrl = (MyUserControl)insertItem.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID);
            GridDataItem parentItem = (GridDataItem)insertItem.ParentItem;
            string strtxt = parentItem["FirstName"].Text;
            usercntrl.Name = strtxt;
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.
