Invoke batcheditcommand

[Rem]

Hi,

Is it possible to invoke radgrid batcheditcommand from code behind.

I saw a mthod to call it from javascript but i want to do it in Vb.net

Hi Rem,

I guess you want to do operations from code behind for Batch edit. You can use the OnBatchEditCommand event of the Radgrid.

VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_BatchEditCommand(sender As Object, e As GridBatchEditingEventArgs)
    For Each command As GridBatchEditingCommand In e.Commands
        If (command.Type = GridBatchEditingCommandType.Update) Then
            Dim newValues As Hashtable = command.NewValues
            Dim oldValues As Hashtable = command.OldValues
            Dim ID As String = newValues("ID").ToString()
            ' Code to Update
        End If
    Next
End Sub

 
Thanks,
Princy

Hi Rem,

Batch editing is client-side oriented edit mode and the server-side BatchEditCommand event will fire only if any of the following client-side function are called from the RadGrid batchEditingManager (and there are changes within the grid): saveChanges(tableView), saveAllChanges() or saveTableChanges(tableViews).

Detailed information about Batch editing is available at the following online help article:

• RadGrid - Batch Editing

Hope that helps.

Hello Mitch,

Yes, you cannot invoke the BatchEditCommand from the code-behind and I must say that there is no reason for doing so, because in order to pass some values from client-side you will have to use one of the approaches that I have mentioned in my previous post. If you have a postback initiated in some other manner, no changes will be passed to server-side.

Additionally, If you need to perform some CRUD operations, separately from the user's input, you do not need the BatchEditCommand to be fired to perform manual updates to your data source.

right. that makes sense. I was more interested in the values than the function, but I guess that's not quite this question
