Bonnie asked on 29 Jan 2020, 08:33 PM

I am using the example found here: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-editing/automatic-crud-operations/defaultcs.aspx and a dummy datasource.

When I try to delete, I get this: 7617|updatePanel|RadGrid1Panel| and cannot delete.

Adding and editing are not working properly either.

I must say I am brand new to this & any help would be much appreciated.

RadGrid-Automatic-CRUD.zip

Hi Bonnie,

Thank you for your interest in using the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX.

It's alright, we all had begun at the basics, then time and experience made us better.

Let me give you a few quick highlights on this case scenario:

The RadGrid controls can be bound in different ways, and that depends on the business requirements, see Telerik RadGrid Data Binding Basics. The demo you mentioned uses the Declarative Binding technique with a Declarative DataSource control, specifically the EntityDataSource, but the Automatic Operations work with all DataSource controls, however, they require additional configuration.

Generally speaking, these DataSource controls require additional commands to work. For instance, if you would like them to extract the data from a database or database context, you'll need to define a command for Selecting.

In case of an SqlDataSource control, the SelectCommand is used to query the database:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
    ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
    SelectCommand="SELECT [OrderID], [OrderDate], [Freight], [ShipName], [ShipCountry] FROM [Orders]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

This will only query the database for the records. If you would like to Insert, Update, or Delete, you will need to define commands for those as well.

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
    ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
    InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Orders] ([OrderDate], [Freight], [ShipName], [ShipCountry]) VALUES (@OrderDate, @Freight, @ShipName, @ShipCountry)"
    SelectCommand="SELECT [OrderID], [OrderDate], [Freight], [ShipName], [ShipCountry] FROM [Orders]"
    UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Orders] SET [OrderDate] = @OrderDate, [Freight] = @Freight, [ShipName] = @ShipName, [ShipCountry] = @ShipCountry WHERE [OrderID] = @OrderID"
    DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Orders] WHERE [OrderID] = @OrderID">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

These commands tell the DataSource Control, how to interact with the database when the command is called by the RadGrid.

Once you have all the commands configured, you will also need to tell the Grid, that you want to use the Automatic Operations by enabling the Automatic Insert/Update/Delete operations.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server"
    DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
    AllowAutomaticInserts="true"
    AllowAutomaticUpdates="true"
    AllowAutomaticDeletes="true">
</telerik:RadGrid>

The EntityDataSource control, on the other hand, works a little differently due to the EntityFramework. This does not require special queries as opposed to the SqlDataSource control. It receives the object (a record to be inserted, updated or deleted) from the Grid and it calls the Add(), Remove() functions then saves changes using SaveChanges() method.

<asp:EntityDataSource ID="EntityDataSourceCustomers" runat="server" ConnectionString="name=NorthwindReadWriteEntities"
    DefaultContainerName="NorthwindReadWriteEntities" 
    EntitySetName="Customers" OrderBy="it.[ContactName]"
    EntityTypeFilter="Customer" 
    EnableFlattening="False" 
    EnableInsert="True" 
    EnableUpdate="True"
    EnableDelete="True"> 
</asp:EntityDataSource>

I have attached a fully runnable sample project demonstrating the Automatic CRUD operations using SqlDataSource control. The DataBase is an .MDF file in the App_Data folder.

Please download the sample and test it out to see it in action. Feel free to make changes, experiment on it, that would clarify a lot of questions that you might have in your head now.

Please let me know if you have any questions about configuring the Telerik controls.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Attila Antal
