Rad Grid Cell Data

[Jonny Sheldrake]

Hi All,

Can anyone help?

I need to know how i can get the data from my selected row in my grid view. I need this value to repopulate my grid view with new data.

Can this be done in the same way as the standard grid view in VS using findcontrol("Name") or selectedrows.cells[0]?

Cheers

Jonny

Hello Jonny,

You can use the following code in order to obtain the cell text from the selected row:

RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0]["Column"].Text

Additional information about how to access cells and rows in RadGrid you can gather from these sources:

Hi Daniel,

Am i missing a trick here as the code you suggested is not valid. RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0] is ok but the ["ColumnName"].text is not an option and when i recomplie VS dosn't like it.

Any more advice? The links you sent look a bit complex for something whic should be pretty simple.

Cheers

Hello Jonny,

It seems that I missed to cast the corresponding item to GridDataItem in this case - please excuse me for that. The proper code slice should be as follows:

(RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0] as GridDataItem)["Column"].Text

Hi Jonny,

You can also try the following code snippet to access the selected item in the PreRender event of RadGrid.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.SelectedItems)
        {
            string strTxt = item["columnUniqueName"].Text.ToString();
        }

    }

Thanks
Princy.
