RadGrid OnItemCommand remove variables assignment

[Hadi]

I create string variable "onEditUser" to be filled with a cell value (Label) when "Edit" command is fired. It is assigned correctly when The Edit button is clicked but when OnItemCommand() is recalled to perform Update Command, the variable assignment is removed and onEditUser become null.

Is there any help why this occurs, and what is the solution? (I need to use this variable in another method)

public partial class EditUsers : System.Web.UI.Page
{
string onEditUser;
    public void GridItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.UpdateCommandName || e.CommandName == RadGrid.PerformInsertCommandName)
        {
            GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            RadComboBox userTypecombo = (RadComboBox)item.FindControl("UserTypeRadComboBox");
            string userType = userTypecombo.SelectedItem.Text;
            SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["UserType"].DefaultValue = userType;
            SqlDataSource1.UpdateParameters["UserType"].DefaultValue = userType;
        }
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
        {
        GridItem item = e.Item;
        Label userNameLB = (Label)item.FindControl("UserNameLabel");
        onEditUser = userNameLB.Text;
        }
    }

Hello Hadi,

If you are declaring the onEditUser variable in the global scope, it will be reset an every postback and AJAX request. You can define a property to keep it - similar to the following snippet, just replace te List<int> with string:

public List<int> DeletedIDs
{
    get
    {
        if (Session["DeletedIDs"] == null)
            Session["DeletedIDs"] = new List<int>();
        return (List<int>)Session["DeletedIDs"];
    }
}

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.
