Mandatory events for RadGrid

[Amit]

Hey everyone,

What are the mandatory events in using a RadGrid?..Why it is not visible in the browser until it is empty and there is no datasource?....I want to show an empty rad grid with template columns in edit mode on page load,where user inputs data.Than data will be saved to a data table and then to db.But the grid is not visible?...What's that required or is compulsory while using radGrid?...

Hello Amit,

Set the DataSource for the grid initially as shown below to show the headers even if you have no records.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        rdgDepartment.DataSource = String.Empty;
    }
}

All the best,

but than for inserting new records i've used sql data source.How can i change grid's datasource after page_Load?...Can i set DataSource and DataSource Id to a single control?...

Hi Amit,

Add the following code:

Datatable dt= new datatable();
radgrdid.datasource=dt;
