Programmatic Manipulation

I'm missing something here. There's tons and tons of documentation for the RadGridView and yet I still can't find some simple documentation on what I'm looking for. I don't have a lot of .Net experience, so maybe that's the problem, not the Gridview.

I've got a bound gridview (in a WPF application) that gets populated from a dataset. When the user is finished and clicks the update button, I want my code to go through the grid, apply local business rules and formating to individual cell entries, delete records as necessary, and then send the grid contents back to the database.

I would like to go, row by row, through my grid, get the contents of a given column, modify it if necessary, and then call my Stored Procedure to take the data from the row and write it back to the database.

Do I have to set my gridview up as unbound to accomplish this?

Hello Dave,

Generally it is not recommended to work with the visual elements. Since the RadGridView supports UI Virtualization, its rows/cells are reused and we do not recommend working with the visual elements. You could iterate trough the Items and Columns collections of the RadGridView instead. Here is a simple example of this:

foreach (Club club in this.clubsGrid.Items)
{
    // work with the 'club' data item;
}

foreach (GridViewColumn column in this.clubsGrid.Columns)
{
   // work with each column
}
