RadGrid ItemCommand, get textbox value when default radgrid's Insert link is clicked

[Vlad]

I am not using any datasource controls, all db access done only in BusinessLayer, and front end is not aware of any built-in .NET data objects either. (no DataTable). The underlying type which grid is bound to is keyvaluepair<string,string>.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

        {

   if (e.CommandName==RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName )

            {

 

                // how to get text that user just typed in textbox in the grid ?
                      // so I can pass it to Busnesslayer for validation and handling.


 

            }

}

Hello Vlad,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the scenario.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName)
       {
           GridEditFormInsertItem item = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;
           TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)item.FindControl("TextBox1");
           string strtxt = txtbox.Text;
       }
   }

Thanks,
Shinu.
