RadGrid Programatically

[talal]

i saw many posts about this but none seemed fixing my issue.

I have a ASP:PlaceHolder (ph).

I thought this would work fine:

 

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SqlDataSource ds = new SqlDataSource();
            ds.ConnectionString = "Data Source=HNT;Initial Catalog=dbL;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=usB;Password=xxx";
            ds.SelectCommand = "SELECT aID,AName FROM tbl where LID=36";
            ds.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO tbl (LID, AName) VALUES (12, 'Test')";

            Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid rg = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid();
            rg.DataSource = ds;
            rg.MasterTableView.DataKeyNames = new string[] { "aID" };
            rg.MasterTableView.AllowAutomaticDeletes = true;
            rg.MasterTableView.AllowAutomaticInserts = true;
            rg.MasterTableView.AllowAutomaticUpdates = true;

            rg.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandItemDisplay.Top;



            ph.Controls.Add(rg);
         }

The values of insert are hard coded for simplicity (it does not work niether with values nor with parameters).
The grid displays fine as expected.
When i hit the insert it shows the insert form as expected.

However when i ctry to save the form (by hitting the insert button) it does not post the command.
No error, and even tried putting an event for inserting but it does not seem to fire at all.

am i missing something?

thank you

Hi Talal,

Could you please try to move the logic from Page_Load to the Page_Init event. When generating RadGrid instance entirely in code, you should use the Page_Init event handler. Also, please check out the following online documentation article which explains how to create a RadGrid programmatically:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdprogrammaticcreation.html

I hope this helps.

I tried onInit event and that did not help either.
I checked the documentation and the link yuo provided already and i could not get my code to work.

Could you please try the code i provided and see if you can get it to work?

Thank you

Hi Talal,

I tried to reproduce the described issue, but to no avail. I am sending you a simple example, based on your code, which demonstrates the desired functionality. Please check it out and let me know what differs in your case.
