[Solved] radGrid with editing on user control question

[Bob]

Hi all,

I have a radGrid with an edit button.  When the Edit button is clicked, I use the user control technique to update the data using radtextbox, raddateinput, radcombobox, etc.  This all works great.  But now I need to add an HTML input control to the user control.  My question is, how do I retrieve this value when the update button is clicked?  For example, here is the line of vb.net code I use to retrieve Telerik and ASP.Net control values:

Dim

MyUserControl As UserControl = CType(e.Item.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID), UserControl)

And then I do something like this to get the value from MyUserControl:

CType

(MyUserControl.FindControl("tbEntityID"), TextBox).Text)

So how can I retrieve the value of this HTML Input control:

<

input id="HiddenEntityID" style="width: 73px" type="text" />


Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

To be able to access the HTML control server-side, you need to run it on the server and then use a similar bit of a code to get its value:

<input id="HiddenEntityID" runat="server" style="width:73px" type="text" />

CType(MyUserControl.FindControl("HiddenEntityID"), HtmlInputText).Value)

Give this suggestion a try and let us know if it helps.

All the best,
