InsertItem not firing

[James]

After enabling the insert item in GridView, clicking insert does not trigger the insert statement.

Hi James,

Can you please make sure that  the CommandName property of Insert button is set as "PerformInsert"? If the problem still persists please share your code and we will do our best to help.

Kind regards,

Pardon my ignorance, I am very new to telerik. I am unable to find PerformInsert.

Hi James,

Try the code snipped below and see if it works:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" CommandName="PerformInsert" Text="Insert" />

Additionally, please take a look at this help topic to see the correct names of the build-in commands of the grid.

I hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your help. I was able to use your suggestion to modify my code to look as follows:

<des:LinkButton ID="lbUpdate" Text='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "Insert" : "Update" %>'
     runat="server" CommandName='<%# (Container is GridEditFormInsertItem) ? "PerformInsert" : "Update" %>' Group="1"
     SkipPostBackEventsWhenInvalid="True">
 </des:LinkButton>

works great now.
