RadGridView Cells text

[Somnath]

HI

let me know, how to check RadGridViews perticular cells text is Empty or not
instead of cells value...?

Thanks...

Hello,

You'd need to use the CellFormatting event. For exmaple:

this.radGridView1.CellFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventHandler(this.radGridView1_CellFormatting);
private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement != null)
    {
        if (e.CellElement.Text == "")
        {
            e.CellElement.Text = "Updated";
        }
    }
}

You can find out more about CellFormatting here.
If there is anything else, please let me know
thanks

Hello,

With this code , the radgridview colums which has datasource also changed with
"Updated", Can you show how to avoid this.........

And

How to fire this radGridView1_CellFormatting event only when adding new row
in the radgridview...?

Thank

Hello,

In this case, instead of using CellFormatting, you can use the UserAddingRow event. This way you can target the new row only and also add a tag which will allow you to inspect it later when updating your data source to see if you want to use the value or not.
E.g.

this.radGridView1.UserAddingRow += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewRowCancelEventHandler(this.radGridView1_UserAddingRow);
private void radGridView1_UserAddingRow(object sender, GridViewRowCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Rows[0].Cells["Name"].Value == null)
    {
        e.Rows[0].Cells["Name"].Value = "DefaultValue";
        e.Rows[0].Cells["Name"].Tag = true;
    }
}

Hope that helps

Hello,

Using the code provided by you,I get a Error--
"Input string was not in a correct format"

at this line--
e.Rows[0].Cells[1].Value = "DefaultValue"; 
Actually, this cells column belongs to GridViewComboBoxColumn..
Can you come with updated code..?

Thanks..

Hello,

In that case, set the value to whichever you want your default value to be. Otherwise, you could change the drop down in the AddNewRow section to be a DropDownList so that there is always a value selected.
Hope that helps
