RadGrid input footer controls

[Jack]

I created a template column with a textbox in the FooterTemplate. Let's say it has an id of "txtInputInFooter".

I would like to retrieve the Text property of the textbox on postback but I am unable to find a way to do so.

I have tried to handle the ItemCommand event and using the following code:
DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("txtInputInFooter"), TextBox).Text
I get a blank value every time.

This seems like it should be a no brainer, is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jack,

Try the following code snippet to access the textbox in FooterTemplate of RadGrid.

CS:

foreach (GridFooterItem footeritem in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.Footer))
{
    TextBox textbox = (TextBox)footeritem["Template1"].FindControl("txtInputInFooter");
    string str = textbox.Text; // Get the textbox value
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
