I have a Radgrid where I am doing some extra validation on the InsertMethod. If that validation fails, I need to make sure that the editor stays open so that the user can still perform editing on the form.

My radgrid is declared as follows:

<telerik:RadGrid

                ID="rgRuleExemptions"

                runat="server"

                AutoGenerateColumns="false"

                AllowPaging="true"

                AllowSorting="true"

                ClientSettings-EnableRowHoverStyle="true"

                EnableEmbeddedSkins="False"

                HeaderStyle-Wrap="False"

                RenderMode="Lightweight"

                HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White"

                PageSize="10"

                OnItemDataBound="RadGridRuleExemptions_ItemDataBound">

                <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" />

                <MasterTableView

                    AutoGenerateColumns="false"

                    DataKeyNames="Id"

                    SelectMethod="GetRuleExemptions"

                    InsertMethod="AddRuleExemption"

Code behind:

public void AddRuleExemption()

{

            var item = new RuleExemptions();

            var context = new DomainContext();

            var domainObject = new RuleExemptions(context);

            TryUpdateModel(item);

            var add = domainObject.AddRuleExemption(item);

            if (!add.IsOperationSuccessful)

            {

                pnlErrorMessage.Visible = true;

                lblErrorMessage.Text = add.OperationReturnMessage;

                // I WANT TO KEEP THE EDITOR OPEN HERE...

            }

            else

            {

                lblErrorMessage.Text = "Operation Successful";

            }

        }

How can I keep the editor open the add operation was not successful? (Note the line // I WANT TO KEEP THE EDITOR OPEN HERE... above).

Please note that I am using Model Binding in this instance.

Thanks

Hello Angelo,
Could you try checking for the validation of the model state before performing the actual insert operation? If you don't perform the operation and there is a model state validation error, it would be shown in a validation summary or ModelErrorMessage control that you can provide. Here is an example of this: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/data-binding/model-binding-and-strongly-typed-data-controls-support#modelbinding-validation.

I am also attaching below a very simple example of how this works as expected (model-binding-validation-sample.zip). It does not have any actual CRUD operations logic, but it will suffice to show the validation approach.
