RadGrid.SelectedItems Problem

[Jay]

Added a GridImageColumn to my grid so I could show a thumbnail image. I was asked to make it toggle on and off via combobox, so I use Page Init and toggle the Visibility property on the GridImageColumn based on the selection from the combo.

Test 1: If the page initially loads in Thumbnail View mode and I select items and hit Add to Cart, all is good. 
Test 2: If the page initially loads in List View Mode and I select items and hit Add to Cart, all is good
Test 3: If I toggle from Thumbnail to List View Mode and then select items and hit Add to Cart, my RadGrid.SelectedItems collection is empty? The same goes for initial load in List and toggle to Thumbnail.

How would the visibility of the column have anything to do with it being selected or not when I am doing everything the same

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Are you rebinding the grid while changing between modes?
Note that the grid selected items are cleared after rebind. You can try the solutions provided in the below articles to overcome that issue:

Hi Lana,
Yes, I am rebinding the grid between mode changes but I am also re-selecting the grid items prior to clicking Add to Cart.
One note is that I am not using check boxes here, only highlighting the rows and hitting Add to Cart.
That shouldn't matter should it?

Hi Jason,

Can you try puting the code for re-selecting the items on RadGrid PreRender and see if it makes any difference? I assume that Add to Carrt button rebinds the grid as well, right?

Kind regards,
