Opening Window from Hierarchial Grid Using Hyperlink

[Michael]

I'm using the code from the demo Grid / Window Editing. 

This part of the code doesn't work. 

 

 

Dim Details As HyperLink = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("DetailsLink"), HyperLink)

 

 

Details is set to nothing.

Hello Michael,

Check whether you have set the ID of HyperLink as 'DetailsLink' in mark up.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateEditColumn">
   <ItemTemplate>
     <asp:HyperLink ID="DetailsLink" runat="server" Text="Details"></asp:HyperLink>
   </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,
Princy.

Princy,

I've checked the ID and it's set to DetailsLink.

Do you think this has anything to do with this being a hierarchial grid?

Hi Michael,

It does matter if the template column containing the hyperlink is in the detail table. In this case, you should set the Name property of the detail GridTableView and then try accessing the hyperlink as follows:

if(e.Item == GridDataItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "DetailTableViewName")
{
   ...
}

Furthermore, make sure that you are using Advanced data-binding for the grid (if you are not employing data-source controls).

Hope it helps.
