I am attempting to create a custom Edit Item Template using this Telerik demo as a guide:

So far I have created my web form ASCX page and the code behind for that page. I getting the new custom form to display when I click the edit button.  However when the form opens I do not see the data from the record I want to edit, all I see is an empty form, plus the update and cancel buttons are not showing. I have attached a screen shot titled EmptyForm.png. showing what I have so far.

 

Below is the C# code for the ASCX web form:

 

01.private object _dataItem = null;
02. 
03.        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
04.        {
05.           //Popuate the Gender Dropdown List
06.            if (!Page.IsPostBack) //this is required to prevent the slected value of the drop downs being reverted during the data save
07.            {
08. 
09.                using (CADWEntities DDLGender = new CADWEntities())
10.                {
11.                    var GenderDropDownQuery = from Link in DDLGender.GenderViewEFs
12.                                              select new { Link.GenderDescription, Link.GenderCode };
13.                    DropDownListGender.DataValueField = "GenderCode";
14.                    DropDownListGender.DataTextField = "GenderDescription";
15.                    DropDownListGender.DataSource = GenderDropDownQuery.ToList();
16.                    DropDownListGender.DataBind();
17.                }
18. 
19.                //Popuate the Race Dropdown List
20.                using (CADWEntities DDLRace = new CADWEntities())
21.                {
22.                    var RaceDropDownQuery = from Link in DDLRace.RaceViewEFs
23.                                            select new { Link.RaceDescription, Link.RaceCode };
24.                    DropDownListRace.DataValueField = "RaceCode";
25.                    DropDownListRace.DataTextField = "RaceDescription";
26.                    DropDownListRace.DataSource = RaceDropDownQuery.ToList();
27.                    DropDownListRace.DataBind();
28.                }
29.            }
30.        }
31. 
32.        public object DataItem
33.        {
34.            get
35.            {
36.                return this._dataItem;
37.            }
38.            set
39.            {
40.                this._dataItem = value;
41.            }
42. 
43.        }

 

I am stuck on how to show the data for the selected record.  In the demo the code for the ASCX page just shows  // Put user code to initialize the page here.  Can someone help with an explanation of the code I need to show the selected record to edit,  and how I can get the cancel and Update buttons to show when the edit form opens.  Or perhaps another example that shows the code needed to display the selected record.

 

Thanks

Perry

Hi! Eyup,

  I have a question, in the sample provided, where is the EmployeeDetails_DataBinding coming from?

this.DataBinding += new System.EventHandler(this.EmployeeDetails_DataBinding);

Thanks, Sh

Hi Sharon,

It is the name of the corresponding event handler:
protected void EmployeeDetails_DataBinding(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    ArrayList tocs = new ArrayList(new string[] { "Dr.", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms." });
 
    ddlTOC.DataSource = tocs;
    ddlTOC.DataBind();
 
    object tocValue = DataBinder.Eval(DataItem, "TitleOfCourtesy");
 
    if (tocValue == DBNull.Value)
    {
        tocValue = "Mrs.";
    }
    ddlTOC.SelectedIndex = tocs.IndexOf((string)tocValue);
    ddlTOC.DataSource = null;
}
