No records to display in Grid

[Jo]

Hello,

I am trying to use an Item Template with the Rad Grid but when the control is databound I just get a message saying 'No records to display'.  Here is my code:

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="EcsSupplierAgreementsGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
               OnNeedDataSource="EcsSupplierAgreementsGrid_NeedDataSource"
               GridLines="None">
               <MasterTableView Width="100%">
                   <ItemTemplate>
                       <%# Eval("SupplierCode")%>
                   </ItemTemplate>
               </MasterTableView>
           </telerik:RadGrid>

ASPX.CS:

protected void EcsSupplierAgreementsGrid_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
  EcsSupplierAgreementsGrid.DataSource = _agreement.SupplierAgreements;
}

The datasource is an IList<T>.  When I debug the line above I can see that the collection has 2 records in it.

Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Hello Jo,

In order to show columns in RadGrid you need to add columns to Column collection property of TableView like below.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="EcsSupplierAgreementsGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnNeedDataSource="EcsSupplierAgreementsGrid_NeedDataSource"
    GridLines="None">
    <MasterTableView Width="100%">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <%# Eval("SupplierCode")%>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks,
Princy.

Cheers Princy! That works great.

I was working from the Telerik demo here. Do you think it is incorrect?

Hello Jo,

That demo shows how to use the global item template feature of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX to create ListView/DataList like data .This is useful when you would like to display the data in a format like ListView.
Please take a look at the following demo which shows the supported column types and how to display data in RadGrid.
