RadGrid Can't access edited values on post back

[anteneh]

Hello there,

I am using the radGrid and am updating values using edit forms.
 On the code behind I couldn't get the updated values that i entered in the text-boxes. It always shows the old values. I have tried two approaches. using the ExtractValuesFromItem(dictonaryObject, editedItem) method and Fetching the data from each edited field individually through the auto-generated column editors, which both seems not to work. here is the markup for the grid and the code behind.
I would appreciate if somebody can help me out with this issue. I only have a day.

 

<tlrk:RadGrid ID="tlrkExpGrid" runat="server" CellSpacing="0" 

GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns = "False"  

OnUpdateCommand = "expDG_RowUpdating" >

 <MasterTableView commanditemdisplay="Top" EditMode = "EditForms" DataKeyNames = "ex_code">

 <Columns>
<tlrk:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" UniqueName="EditCommandColumn">

 <ItemStyle CssClass="MyImageButton"/>

 </tlrk:GridEditCommandColumn>

 <tlrk:GridBoundColumn DataField="ex_code" HeaderText="Code"  UniqueName="ex_code" >

 </tlrk:GridBoundColumn>

 <tlrk:GridBoundColumn DataField="ex_name" HeaderText="Name" UniqueName="ex_name" >

 </tlrk:GridBoundColumn>

 <tlrk:GridBoundColumn DataField="DUNS" HeaderText="DUNS" UniqueName="DUNS" >

 </tlrk:GridBoundColumn>

 <tlrk:GridBoundColumn DataField="email" HeaderText="Email" UniqueName="email" ColumnEditorID = "emailEditor">

 </tlrk:GridBoundColumn>

 <tlrk:GridButtonColumn ConfirmText="Delete this Exporter?" ConfirmDialogType="RadWindow"

 ConfirmTitle="Delete" ButtonType="ImageButton" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete"

 UniqueName="DeleteColumn">

 <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" CssClass="MyImageButton" />

</tlrk:GridButtonColumn>

 </Columns>

 <EditFormSettings>

 <EditColumn UniqueName="EditCommandColumn" FilterControlAltText="Filter EditCommandColumn1 column"></EditColumn>

 </EditFormSettings>

  </MasterTableView>

 </tlrk:RadGrid>

void expDG_RowUpdating(object source,Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)

 {

 GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

 string expCode = (editedItem["ex_code"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;

 string expName = (editedItem["ex_name"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;

 string duns = (editedItem["DUNS"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;

string email = (editedItem["email"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;

//this is the first approach

 Hashtable newValues = new Hashtable();

 e.Item.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(newValues, editedItem);

　

//this was the second approach trying to loop through each editor　

GridTextBoxColumnEditor editor = (GridTextBoxColumnEditor)editedItem.EditManager.GetColumnEditor("email");

TextBox t = editor.TextBoxControl;

string ee = t.Text;

GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

 GridEditManager editMan = editedItem.EditManager;

  

 

 foreach( GridColumn column in e.Item.OwnerTableView.RenderColumns )

 {

 if ( column is IGridEditableColumn )

 {

  IGridEditableColumn editableCol = (column as IGridEditableColumn);

  if ( editableCol.IsEditable )

 {

  IGridColumnEditor editor = editMan.GetColumnEditor( editableCol );

  string editorType = editor.ToString();

  string editorText = "unknown";

  object editorValue = null;

 if ( editor is GridTextColumnEditor )

 {

 editorText = (editor as GridTextColumnEditor).Text;

 editorValue = (editor as GridTextColumnEditor).Text;

  }

}

}

}

Hello anteneh,

You properly found which are the both possible approaches for extracting new values on UpdateCommand:
Using Column Editors
Using ExtractValuesFromItem()

However can you elaborate on how you are binding the grid? I would suggest that you do that through the NeedDataSource event instead of using simple data-binding. See what are the differences below:
