Hello,
I am using a RadGrid as part of a custom control (DNN module, actually) for contact management. I have a simple RadGrid set up with an external insert/edit form, and aside from the issue with allowing duplicate inserts, it's working perfectly.
When inserting new records, or updating existing records, we want to detect duplicate records (based only on fistname and lastname comparisons) and prompt/warn the user to ensure they are aware of the duplicate.
In the case of no duplicates, the insert/update should just happen.
In the case of duplicates, the user should be asked if they want to insert anyway, or cancel.
Does RadGrid have any kind of built in support for this kind of workflow? Or am I going to have to replace the current submit button with my own method that makes an AJAX call to search for duplicates, and then react accordingly? I am trying to keep the code as simple as possible for long-term maintenance purposes.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello Dave,

The grid does not provide such built-in functionality out of the box. We have a popup confirmation on the GridButtonColumn but it is a standard client-side confirm dialog. If you need more complex functionality that will make an ajax request to the server and check for duplicate records you will need to add some custom logic to a button that will perform this function. You can use RadAjaxManager and confirm dialogs at your disposal.
