[Solved] RadGrid InsertCommand

[Laslo Pertic]

Hi,

For some reason I can't get a reference to a control in the InsertCommand handler

This works for update:
Private Sub RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.UpdateCommand
        Dim editItem As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
End Sub

But this does not:
Protected Sub RadGrid1_InsertCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.InsertCommand
            Dim insertItem As GridDataInsertItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataInsertItem)
End Sub

I allways got this message:
Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandItem' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataInsertItem'.

Help?
Thanks Laslo

Hello Laslo,

This error can occur when you click on a button which resides in the command item template so as to trigger the InsertCommand, for which the e.Item instance is of type GridCommandItem, not GridDataInsertItem. If thats the case, then you can modify your code as follows to avoid the exception generated inside the InsertCommand handler:
vb:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_InsertCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.InsertCommand
   Dim insertedItem As GridDataInsertItem = DirectCast(e.Item.OwnerTableView.GetInsertItem(), GridDataInsertItem)
End Sub

Thanks
Princy.
