Hi, I have an RadGrid into my page which contains a column named "Comment" :

 

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridOrderLines" SkinId="MyRadGrid"

 

 

runat="server">

 

 

<MasterTableView Width="100%">

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Comment" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left">

 

 

<HeaderTemplate>

 

 

Comment

 

 

</HeaderTemplate>

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblComment2"></asp:Label>

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

<EditItemTemplate>

 

 

<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="tbComment2" Text='' TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="4" Columns="20"></asp:TextBox>

 

 

</EditItemTemplate>

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 

 

</Columns>

 

 

</MasterTableView>

 

 

</telerik:RadGrid>

I use a skin named MyRadGrid which contains a several columns (TechnicalReference,...) : 

 

<

 

telerik:RadGrid SkinID="MyRadGrid" runat="server"

 

 

Skin="Default"

 

 

 

 

 

AlternatingItemStyle-BackColor="#EAF3F7"

 

 

EnableEmbeddedSkins="false"

 

 

datakeynames="OrderLineId" Width="98%"

 

 

AutoGenerateColumns="false">

 

 

 

 

 

<MasterTableView Width="100%">

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Reference" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left">

 

 

 

 

 

<HeaderTemplate>

 

 

TechnicalReference

 

 

 

 

 

</HeaderTemplate>

 

 

 

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

 

 

<asp:HiddenField runat="server" id="hidOrderLineId" Value=''></asp:HiddenField>

 

 

 

 

 

<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblReference" Text=''></asp:Label>

 

 

 

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
....

My problem is that when I display the page, I see the columns Comment and TechnicalReference. I don't understand why I don't see only the column of the Skin (TechnicalReference).  When, I test with the GridView control of Asp.net, it displays only the columns of the skin (TechnicalReference).  Why is it different ?

I use the RadGrid control into all my pages, and I really need that it have the same behaviour of the GridView. 

Do you have an idea to resolve my problem easily ?

Thank you in advance,

Suzi.

Hi Suzi,

The observed behavior in RadGrid is expected and the reason is that the RadGrid control has a different sctructure from the GridView. However, there is a workaround - you can check whether there are columns added from an ASP.NET theme, and if yes, make the other columns invisible:

ASPX

I am testing this solution. It is a very good idea, thank you, but strangely, it doesn't work. The RadGrid is always null into the method OnPreInit. I don't know why ?

 

protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)

 

{

 

base.OnPreInit(e);

 

 

if(RadGrid!=null)

 

ThemeColumns = RadGrid.Columns.Count;

 

}

Do you have an idea ? Is it working for you ?

Thank you in advance,

Hello Suzi,

Yes, the solution works on my side as expected.

Try using an ID for RadGrid, which is different from the control's name:

ThemeColumns = RadGrid1.Columns.Count;

Of course, in order to be available in PreInit, the RadGrid control must be added declaratively on the page.

I am sorry, it works very well with your example, but it doesn't work into my project. I am using a theme into the web.config.

I found an other solution which work into my project. I use the property VirtualItemCount :

<

 

telerik:RadGrid SkinID="MailDivGrid" runat="server"

 

 

 

datakeynames="OrderLineId" Width="98%"

 

 

 

AutoGenerateColumns="false">

 

 

 

<mastertableview VirtualItemCount="1">

 

 

 

<rowindicatorcolumn>

 

 

 

<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />

 

 

 

</rowindicatorcolumn>

 

 

 

<expandcollapsecolumn>

 

 

 

<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />

 

 

 

</expandcollapsecolumn>

 

 

 

<Columns>

 

 

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="MailDivCode" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left">

 

 

 

 

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblCode" Text='<%# Bind("Code") %>'></asp:Label>

 

 

 

</ItemTemplate>

 

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 

 

 

</Columns>

 

 

 

</mastertableview>

 

 

</

 

telerik:RadGrid>

 

 



 

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)

 

{

 

 

 

 

 

base.OnInit(e);

 

 

int themeColumns = 0;

 

themeColumns = RadGridMailDivs.MasterTableView.VirtualItemCount;

 

 

if (themeColumns > 0)

 

{

 

 

for (int j = 0; j < RadGridMailDivs.Columns.Count - themeColumns; j++) {

 

RadGridMailDivs.Columns[j].Visible =

 

false;

 

}

}

}

The property VirtualItemCount can be use for that ?

Hi Suzi,

I am afraid that the VirtualItemCount property is not related to the number of columns in the ASP.NET theme. You cannot use that.

Please review carefully my example once again and try to find out what should be changed in your implementation.

If you need further advice, please open a new support ticket and send us a simple runnable project, so that we can see what's happening.

All the best,
