RadTextBox in multiline mode will not fire update

[Philippe GRACA]

Hi
I've been implementing a way to display different edit controls depending on data type here : http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-beechm.aspx

Everything works fine except that if the EditItemTemplate row contains a RadtextBox with multiline enabled, the UPDATE event will not be fired on exit.

Any ideas on the reason why?

Best regards
Philippe

Hello Philippe,

You need to add the controls inside the ItemCreated event handler of the grid instead on ItemDataBound in order to keep their viewstate and event lifecycle consistent.

Further information about the major differences between the ItemCreated and ItemDataBound events of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX you can gather from the help article pointed below:

Hi
I do not think the issue is there
When I use that code,

<EditItemTemplate>

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="rtb" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="2"/> </EditItemTemplate>

the UpdateCommand is  not fired.
When I change Multiline to SingleLine, the Event is fired and I can update the record in the DB.

What could possibly be the reason?
Best regards
Philippe

Hello Philippe,

Since we cannot reproduce the problem, the first thing you can try is to upgrade to the latest version of RadControls for Asp.Net Ajax. Here is a useful article from our Knowledge Base that elaborates on how to upgrade.

If that does not help, the best way to proceed will be to open a support ticket and attach to it a small runnable project that reproduces the issue. This will allow us to examine it and advise you accordingly.
