RadGrid/TelerikReporting Interaction

[Carla Lewis]

I'm using Asp.Net AJAX UI controls to display a RadGrid on a page with a ReportViewer underneath.  When the user selects a row in the RadGrid I want to capture the ID field from the selcted row and update the ReportViewer by passing that same ID to the newly instantiated report.

Has anyone done anything like this?

I can capture the needed ID from the client-side of the RadGrid, but I can only update the ReportViewer on the server-side.  I guess if I knew how to capture the RadGrid selected row on the server-side I could manage just fine.

I'm no grid expert, but I've gotta admit that this product's documentation is great. Here is what I've found after a quick search in it:

Basically you can use the SelectedIndexChanged server event for getting the selected row and then pass it to the ReportViewer or any control that would work with it.

I would think so too, but I cannot get the event to fire with using the client-side row select.  I don't want to use a column button to select the row, I'd like the user to be able to select and highlight the row which happens to be a client-side function.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Got it!  In the RadGrid I needed to set EnablePostBackOnRowClick to true.  Now my client-side row selection fires a postback/ajax request and then I can set the ReportViewer.
