Read values from GridTemplateColumn

[Mario]

Hello,
I have a custom button in my grid. After clicking on the button I want the LayoutID and LayoutTypeID read from the grid TemplateColumn. I've tried the following:

<Columns>
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="PlayerLayoutID" DataType="System.Int64"
        FilterControlAltText="Filter PlayerLayoutID column" HeaderText="PlayerLayoutID"
        ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="PlayerLayoutID"
        UniqueName="PlayerLayoutID" Visible="False">
    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="LayoutTypeID"
        FilterControlAltText="Filter LayoutTypeID column" HeaderText="Layout Type"
        UniqueName="LayoutTypeID">
        <EditItemTemplate>
            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="LayoutTypeIDRadComboBox" runat="server"
                DataSourceID="ODSLayoutTypes"
                DataTextField="TypeName"
                DataValueField="TypeID"
                onselectedindexchanged="LayoutTypeIDRadComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged"
                AutoPostBack="True"
                SelectedValue='<%# Bind("LayoutTypeID") %>' Culture="de-DE">
                <Items>
                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem1"
                        Value="RadComboBoxItem1" />
                </Items>
            </telerik:RadComboBox>
            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidatorLayoutType"

    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="LayoutID"
        FilterControlAltText="Filter column1 column" HeaderText="Layout"

                    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="" />
                </Items>

        </EditItemTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>

    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton"
    FilterControlAltText="Filter EditCommandColumn column"
    HeaderText="<%$ Resources:BasicSettings, Edit %>">

<telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" CommandName="Delete"
    ConfirmText="<%$ Resources:BasicSettings, ConfirmDelete %>"
    HeaderText="<%$ Resources:BasicSettings, Delete %>" Text="Delete"
    UniqueName="DeleteColumn">
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>
    <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="ImageButton" CommandName="makeObjects"
        FilterControlAltText="Filter MakeObjects column" HeaderText="Objects"
        ImageUrl="../images/symbols/settings_16.png" Text="Objects"
        UniqueName="MakeObjects">
    </telerik:GridButtonColumn>
</Columns>

protected void RadGridPlayerLayout_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    ...
    if (e.CommandName == "makeObjects")
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        string test = item["LayoutTypeID"].Text;

    }
}

Unfortunately that did not work. How can i solve this?

Best regards
Reiner

Hello Mario,

GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
          string test = (item.FindControl("LayoutTypeIDLabel") as Label).Text;

Thanks,

Thank you, Jayesh.
Unfortunately I only get the text of the layout types name. I am using a RadComboBox in the EditItemTemplate and in the ItemTemplate i show only the TypeName, not the LayoutTypeID.

Hello Mario,

One option is you can add a Hiddenfield column in ItemTemplate to get the ‘LayoutTypeID’ or you can include that field into DataKeyNames and get the value using GetDataKeyValue() method.

aspx:

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="LayoutID">
 <Columns>
   <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="LayoutID" FilterControlAltText="Filter column1 column" HeaderText="Layout"UniqueName="LayoutID">
    <EditItemTemplate>
         .   .   .  .  .
     </EditItemTemplate>
     <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:Label ID="LayoutIDLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("LayoutName") %>'></asp:Label>
       <asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" Value='<%# Eval("LayoutID") %>' runat="server" />
    </ItemTemplate>
 </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
         .  .   .  .  .
   </Columns>
</MasterTableView>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.CommandName == "makeObjects")
 {
   GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
   HiddenField hidenfield = (HiddenField)item.FindControl("HiddenField1");
   string test = hidenfield.Value;
        //  or
   string test = item.GetDataKeyValue("EmployeeID").ToString();
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi can't retreaqve the value of the hiden field :

<Columns>
                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Customer" SortExpression="LastName">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <strong><%#eval("LastName") %>, <%#eval("FirstName") %></strong><br />
                        <%#Eval("Address1")%><br />
                        <%#eval("City") %>, <%#eval("State") %> <%#Eval("Zip")%>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Term" SortExpression="Term">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblTerm" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Total" DataField="Total" DataFormatString="{0:c}" SortExpression="Total" />
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="VIN" DataField="Vin" SortExpression="VIN" />
                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Contract" SortExpression="ContractNum">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <a target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #231F20;" href="../<%#eval("FileName") %>"><%#eval("ContractNum") %></a>
                        <input type="hidden" id="lblContract" value='<%#Eval("ContractNum") %>'></input>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 

 Protected Sub RadGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(RadGrid1.SelectedItems(0), GridDataItem)

        Dim test As HiddenField = DirectCast(item.FindControl("LayoutTypeIDLabel"), HiddenField)
        'Dim val = test.Value
    End Sub

 

When I select the row I want to show the edit button and get the value in the hidden field.

Make suggestions, since I am brand new to this.

Hi Mike,

You can use a HiddenField control to achieve this requirement:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.hiddenfield%28v=vs.90%29.aspx

And you can access it in edit mode using the following approaches:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-controls-in-editinsert-mode

Hope this helps. If you have different requirements or further instructions, please elaborate on your specific scenario.
