radgrid.mastertableview.swapcolumns not working???

[chaitanya]

Hi,

i have a radgrid with autogeneratedcolumns option as true. i disabled the viewstate for grid.  whenever a column reorder happens, i have to move some more columns.i am trying to move the extra columns through server side implementation. i am doing this in Prerender event of radgrid. The drag and drop column is moving to dropped position. However i am unable to move the extra columns. please help me out regarding this. i am trying for this for whole day but in vain :(

i made the following settings for my grid
EnableColumnsViewState="true"
AllowColumnsReorder="True",  ReorderColumnsOnClient="false"

grid PreRender code for moving the extra columns
protected void grdSummary_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Holds the Unique names of columns to be moved
string[] extraColumns =new string(commasepratedColumnNames)
//column that was dragged and dropped
GridColumn mainColumnObject = grdSummary.MasterTableView.GetColumn("34");
                        index = mainColumnObject.OrderIndex;
                        foreach (string columnUniqueName in extraColumns)
                        {                            

                            grdSummary.MasterTableView.SwapColumns(columnUniqueName, mainColumnObject.UniqueName);                            
                        }
                        grdSummary.MasterTableView.Rebind();
}

Thanks,
Chaitanya

Hi Chaitanya,

I could not see anything wrong with your code snippet. In addition, it is not clear what exactly went wrong - do you get any exception or the columns are just not moving. Please, paste your complete aspx and code-behind using the CODE FORMATTER tool of the ticket editor or what's better open up a formal support ticket and send your files so that we can debug them on our side. Thanks for that.

Best wishes, Tsvetoslav
