Radgrid stays in edit mode after insertcommand

[Andreas N.]

Hi,

my grid - not ajaxified - stays in edit mode after inserting.

No exceptions are thrown.

The updatecommand does literally the same, except for getting the edited row, and the grid reverts back to display mode.

Any suggestions are welcome

Thank you

Andreas

        protected void rgdViStore_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            DataTable substanceTable = this.substanceSource;

            storeData.VISTORE_V_EDIT_DISPLAYRow currentRow = (storeData.VISTORE_V_EDIT_DISPLAYRow)substanceTable.NewRow();

            try
            {
                // start editing
                currentRow.BeginEdit();
                // shared code for insert and update, does not fire exception
                // uses ExcractValues and gets the values from the template columns
                persistChanges(editedItem, currentRow);
                currentRow.EndEdit();
                substanceTable.Rows.Add(currentRow);
               this.substanceSource = (storeData.VISTORE_V_EDIT_DISPLAYDataTable)substanceTable;
                rgdViStore.EditIndexes.Clear();
                rgdViStore.Rebind();

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                currentRow.CancelEdit();
                rgdViStore.EditIndexes.Clear();
                rgdViStore.Rebind();
                e.Canceled = true;
            }

        }

Hi Andreas,

I am not sure why you have written the code to edit/update a row in the Insert command. Can you also check whether you have enabled AllowAutomaticUpdates/AllowAutomaticInserts to true by chance. If so try setting it to false and see whether it helps.

Hi Shinu,

thanks for that. AllowAutomaticInserts was still in the markup.

You mention, that there is an alternative to inserting a row into the datasource; to progress in understanding the Radgrid...

I use advanced Databinding, and a declaratively built Radgrid with TemplateColumns and GridBoundColums, what method would you suggest?


Thanks

Andreas

Hello Andreas N.,

The alternative that your question touches is the RadGrid control's Automatic Operations. They are meaningful only in scenarios where you have the grid bound to a data source object. In that case, the data source object's update/insert/delete commands will be automatically invoked by the grid and hence the name Automatic Operations. More information, you can find at the following online example and the related help topics:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/alleditablecolumns/defaultcs.aspx

In your case, however, when binding the grid to a custom data source, Automatic Operations are not possible.

I hope this helps.
