RadGrid - PerformInsert - "Insert item is available only when grid is in insert mode."

[Sven]

I'm getting "Insert item is available only when grid is in insert mode." when I call GetInsertItem() for the PerformInsert command in the ItemCommand event.  Is there something obvious I'm missing?  Thanks.

Hello,

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName)
       {
           GridEditFormInsertItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormInsertItem;
           //perform your logic here
       }
   }
   //OR
   protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
       GridEditFormInsertItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormInsertItem;
       //perform your logic here
   }

Thanks,
Jayesh Goyani

Jayesh, thanks for the quick reply.  I tried both of your suggestions, but neither worked for me.  In both cases e.Item was of type GridCommandItem (not GridEditFormInsertItem), so the cast was null.

Hi Sven,

Please modify the code as below.Remove the LinkButton with id=btnPerformInsert.

ASPX:

<CommandItemTemplate>
 <asp:LinkButton ID="add" runat="server" Text="Add new Record" CommandName="InitInsert"></asp:LinkButton>
</CommandItemTemplate>

C#:

protected void grid_InsertCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
     GridEditFormInsertItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormInsertItem;
     //Code to Insert
   }

Thanks,
Princy
