[Solved] Keep in Edit View on Update/Insert

[Mike Sweet]

Hello,

I have a Grid whose editmode="forms".  I am doing some server-side validation on the item Insert and Update events.  I am not using a "DataSource", but instead binding directly to a collection of objects.  What I am having trouble with is that if the inserted/updated item is not valid, I want to keep that row in edit view.  My code for the Update event is as follows:

   void OnPartAliasesUpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
      GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
      string partCode = item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[item.ItemIndex]["PartAlias"].ToString();
      App.Core.BusinessObjects.Part partAlias = PartAliases[partCode];
      RetrievePartAliasForm(item, partAlias);
      if (!ValidatePartAliasForm(partAlias))
      {
         ccPartAliasStatusLabel.AddErrors(base.Rules);
         return;

      }
      PartAliases[partAlias.PartAlias] = partAlias;
      rdgPartAliases.Rebind();
   }

In other words, if the call to ValidatePartAliasForm return false, keep the item in edit view.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks!

Hello Mike,

RadGrid will be rebound automatically on update, so in case of failing validation, you should cancel it. That is -- set e.Canceled = true; before return; line. Also, due to the automatic databinding, you can remove the call to Rebind.

Hope this helps.
