RadGridView get new value

[Jarne]

I have a question about the RadGridView

I want to retrieve the new value of a cell that I have changed.

When I change a cell from value "AB" to "CD", how can I then get "CD" ?

Should I use the RowsChanged or CellValueChanged event?

In the RowsChanged, you have a property e:NewItems, but I don't know how you then can get value "CD" from e:NewItems.

Hello, Jarne,

In order to get the new value after a cell is being edited you should subtribe to CellValueChanged event. This event fires when a value in cell has changed and I believe it would be suitable for your scenario. From its GridViewCellEventArgs you have access to the e.Value property which will give you the new value in cell:

private void RadGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    var val = e.Value;
}

On the other hand, RowsChanged event fires after one or more grid rows are changed. More information about tracking changes in RadGridView you can find here: Tracking changes in RadGridView - RadGridView - Telerik UI for WinForms

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Hello Nadya,

Thank you, now it works.

The problem in my case was that I forget to update the ProBindingSource behind the RadGridView.

I had to set the bindingSource.AutoUpdate property to True to get it working.

When you define a ProBindingSource the AutoUpdate property is false.

And then I was able to retrieve the new value with e.Value.
