Modify some fields directly after the "Add new item"

[Julien]

Hi!

I've a RadGridView, I wish to set some field to a default value when I create it.

I can't find the good event for this. 

Example:

I click on the Add new item of the RadGridView
An event intercept this action
--> I change some field
Life continue ;)

I'm sure this is made very easily but I can't find how :(

Hi Julien,

The proper event is AddingNewDataItem.

There you can initialize the needed properties of your business object. Here is a sample:

private void clubsGrid_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)
{
    e.NewObject = new Club()
    {
        Name = "initial name",
        Established = DateTime.Now.Date
    };
}

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
