Approve for Public Release and Reassign buttons do not fire itemcommand event unless I set autopostback to true, which loses my edits.

 

 

 

 

Please help.

Thanks in advance...

Hello Jason,

In order to fire the server-side PerformInsert / Update commands, you need to set the AutoPostBack properties of the buttons to true.
If the data is lost, please make sure that you follow these help topics when updating:
Updating Values Using InPlace and EditForms Modes
Updating Values Using UserControl/FormTemplate

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Mira

Hello Jason,

First try with the solution which was given by mira.
 
If this is not worked then try with below code.If below code is worked for you then please check any other validation fired when you click on update or insert button.

<telerik:RadButton ID="Button1" CausesValidation="False" />

Thanks,

good tip, Jayesh.  I had a control in a multipage which was trying to validate and stopping the page from updating.
