Problemn using Grid FormTemplate

[Dan]

I have a FormTemplate where the user enters a non-bound text message.  In the UpdateCommand code-behind, I want to capture the new message (txtBody) and combine it with the text of a GridBoundColumn value (body) from the owning grid.  In the UpdateCommand code-behind I cannot seem to access either value.  Can you point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

My aspx:

My code-behind:

        {
            TextBox txtBox = e.Item.FindControl("txtBody") as TextBox;
            Session["savedOldBody"] = txtBox.Text;
        }
    }

    protected void GridUpdateCommand(object source, Telerik.WebControls.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridEditableItem editedItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        int iPKey = (int)editedItem.GetDataKeyValue("CPK_WEB_MESSAGES");

        Hashtable newValues = new Hashtable();
        e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(newValues, editedItem);
        string subject = newValues["SUBJECT"].ToString().Trim();
        string body = newValues["txtBody"].ToString().Trim();                          <---This does not work
        string category = newValues["MSG_CATEGORY"].ToString().Trim();
        string orig_body = Session["savedOldBody"].ToString().Trim();            <---This does not work

        string strSqlCmd = "exec dbo.wa_Update_Web_Messages " + iPKey.ToString().Trim() + "," + category + ",'" + subject.Replace("'", "''") + "','" + body.Replace("'", "''") + "','Sent'";
        DataAccess sda = new DataAccess();
        sda.RunSqlCmd(strSqlCmd);
    }

I solved this for myself.  In the form template, I bound the textbox to a '' value in the SqlDataSource:

<

 

radI:RadTextBox ID="txtBody" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("TOKEN1") %>' TextMode="MultiLine" Width="500" Height="100" />

and i bound the grid text body to a non-visible label:

 

<

 

asp:Label ID="lblOrigBody" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("BODY") %>' Visible="false" />

then in the code-behind:

 

protected

 

void GridUpdateCommand(object source, Telerik.WebControls.GridCommandEventArgs e)

 

{

 

GridEditableItem editedItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;

 

 

int iPKey = (int)editedItem.GetDataKeyValue("CPK_WEB_MESSAGES");

 

 

Hashtable newValues = new Hashtable();

 

e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(newValues, editedItem);

 

string subject = newValues["SUBJECT"].ToString().Trim();

 

 

string body = newValues["TOKEN1"].ToString().Trim();

 

 

string category = newValues["MSG_CATEGORY"].ToString().Trim();

 

 

string orig_body = newValues["BODY"].ToString().Trim();

 

body = orig_body +

"\n\n----------- Reply by " + Session["FirstName"] + " " + Session["LastName"] + " " + DateTime.Now + " : -----------\n\n" + body;

 

 

string strSqlCmd = "exec dbo.wa_Update_Web_Messages " + iPKey.ToString().Trim() + "," + category + ",'" + subject.Replace("'", "''") + "','" + body.Replace("'", "''") + "','Sent'";

 

 

DataAccess sda = new DataAccess();

 

sda.RunSqlCmd(strSqlCmd);

}
