[Solved] radcombo in gridcell, how to load grid?

[Steve Napurano]

I have a radcombo in a grid cell. When the user clicks a gridbutton column, i evaluate the value in the drop down in the ItemCommand event. My initial problem was that the radcombo was losing its value before the ItenCommand event.fired causing the radcombo to lose the value selected by the user. i was told to remove the code that loads the grid from the page_load event.

My issue now is, how do I repopulate the grid without affecting the value in the drop down. I cant reload the grid in the page_load because that fires prior to the itemcommand. Paging is not working in the grid and I also have to radcombo boxes outside the grid that filer the grid content when a command button is pressed.

Please assist.

thanks

Hello Steve,

Have you considered using NeedDataSource binding for your grid? Thus the grid will be automatically rebound on operations like sorting, paging, editing, etc. and you should be able to extract the data from the controls in it successfully.
