RadGrid/Attachment Functionality in Template?

[Ralph]

Hi All

Hopefully I'm explaining this clearly ... I'm pretty new to using the rad controls and any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to find a way of allowing an attachment/file to a new record within a RadGrid that get's uploaded along with the Insert/Update command but I can't seem to figure out a solution. I initially tried using asp:FileUpload but quickly realized that it requires a postback. When I get the FileUpload object (since a postback has not occured) the the control has HasFile returns false even though I "attached" a file.

I also tried using the Rad but keep getting the same results.

Regards

Ralph

Hello Ralph,

You can directly use a GridAttachmentColumn to upload/download files via your grid:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/columns-rows/columns/column-types/defaultcs.aspx

Alternatively, you can use a GridTemplateColumn and place a RadAsyncUpload control in its EditItemTemplate container:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/columns/column-types#template

You can also check the following section for accessing the control on code-behind:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-controls-in-editinsert-mode

Hope this helps.
