[Solved] Problem with web user control insert

[Daniel]

Hi. I have a nested grid. When I press my 'book' link button (same as insert record) it opens up a web user control. I've trapped any exceptions that might come up and noticed that the exception that is raised is an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object', when click on my 'book' button. The form comes up okay but cannot insert or even cancel the record. Here is parts of my code:

ASPX

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="ExpandCollapse" HeaderStyle-Width="3%">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="lbBook" Text="Book" CommandName="book" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

CS

protected void rgEnvironments_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            if (e.CommandName == "book")
            {
                e.Canceled = true;
                rgEnvironments.EditIndexes.Clear();
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.EditFormType = GridEditFormType.WebUserControl;
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.EditFormSettings.UserControlName = "/teams/im/environment_usage/insert_usage_form.ascx";
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem();
            }

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Intranet.AppendLogFile(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
        }
    }

Hi Daniel,

I tried your similar scenario and  was able to get it working.Could you make sure that you have not set the AllowAutomaticInsert property of the grid to true. Also consider posting your grid markup here.

Thanks,
Princy

Thanks for that. I should have realised when the automaticinsert form briefly appears before the custom control. Thanks again Princy.
