[Solved] Problem in accessing cells in a GridView Row

[Mathan lal]

Hi ,

I am using RadGridView in my silverlight application. Grid is created with static and dynamic cloumns as well. I have written some validations on  grdView_CellValidating event. To do the validation i want to access all the cells of the of the current row. Right now i am doing that with the following satement at the Cell validating event.

         e.Cell.ParentRow.Cells

Here i can't acees the one of the cell that is not viewable in the screen. I mean i have to scroll horizantally to see the cell. Actually the grid having 10 cells but e.Cell.ParentRow.Cell.Count is only 9 ( Last cell is excluded ).

But when i Edit the particular cell and fire the Cellvalidating event by pressing tab from the cell e.Cell.ParentRow.Cell.Count is returning Count as 10.

Please tell me that e.Cell.ParentRow.Cells is the right way to access all the cells of the current row ? or tell me what could be the
problem?

Hello Mathan lal,

Due to horizontal virtualization some cells are not created until they do not come into visible area. I suggest you to use underlying data item which can be get as a DataContext of the e.Cell object. Another option is to disable horizontal virtualization with a code like this:

<telerik:RadGridView EnableColumnVirtualization="False">
