Know what changed after update

[Najid Hanif]

I have a grid that use a pop up edit form. After the form has been updated, how can I tell what was changed? My goal is to send an email if a value in a drop down was changed from "Unassigned" to something else.

Thanks

Hello Najid,

One suggestion is to set some global variable on the Dropdowm SelectedIndex_Changed event and check for that value i the Update event.
C#:

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DropDownList drp1 = (sender as DropDownList);
        if (drp1.SelectedItem.Text != "Unassigned")
        {
            flag = 1;
        }
    }
protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (flag == 1)
        {
       //send mail
        }
    }

Thanks,
Shinu.

I just ran across this. It seems to be a better approach
