[Solved] OnUpdateCommand Edited Values are NULL

[Greg Smith]

I've done everything in the Insert/Update/Delete at database level with queries example and yet when I try to read the edited values they are always NULL/blank.

I have:

EnableViewState: true
All of the AllowAutomatic* set to false
I'm setting my DataSource in OnNeedDataSource

The edited values are ALWAYS null. As others have said, this is supposed to be a RAD tool. I'm trying to convince my team that these tools are the better than custom controls because they are faster and easier to implement. There needs to be a COMPLETE tutorial for doing custom CRUD commands because that is likely what 99.999% of your users are doing.


Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Can you try downloading the sample application from the following codelibrary submission and see whether you are able to access the editedvalues in the UpdateCommand event.
Manual Insert/Update/Delete operations using Auto-generated editform with sql statements from the code-behind

Thanks for the links...I'll take a look at it to see if it will help.

I have another piece of information that might also be useful. When I run this code from the example the EmployeeID value IS set, but FirstName and LastName values are blank. When I set EnableViewState to false the values are populated with the old values. It seems as though the new/updated values are not being passed through to the code behind.

 protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)   
   {   
       //Get the GridEditFormInsertItem of the RadGrid     
       GridEditFormInsertItem insertedItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;   
 
       //string EmployeeID = (insertedItem["EmployeeID"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;   
 
       string LastName = (insertedItem["LastName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;   
       string FirstName = (insertedItem["FirstName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;
...

Is there another boolean flag on a column or on the grid that has to be set?


Thank you,
Greg Smith

Princy,

Yes I downloaded the sample provided and was able to see the updated values. I will examine this code to see what my code is missing. Any help based on my previous post would be appreciated though ;)
