RadGridView disable updating rows

[Matt]

Hello,

    I have a RadGridView bound to a collection and i'd like to disable updating of existing rows.  I still need to be able to use the insert functionality of the grid to add new rows, but I do not want rows in the grid to be updated.  Is this possible?

Using Silverlight, latest Telerik tools

Thanks!

Best way I could find to do this was to check and see if the database created identity key was filled in

 

 

if ((e.Row.DataContext as DataBoundObject).ID > 0)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}

Hello Matt,

Would you take a look at this forum thread ? Will the approach suggested there correspond to your needs ?

Thank you, that was very helpful!

I only ran into an issue when attempting to use the same code on a gridview in the details of my main gridview, so I came up with the following which works in both

if ((sender as Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadGridView).Items.CurrentAddItem != e.Row.Item)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}
