[Solved] RIA adding new row

[Maxim]

For some reason I an unable to add new record using insert key. The grid refuses to handle it for some reason. I can see and edit it but not insert new record. Can some one advise me on what am I doing wrong.
PS: I am using RIA Services.
Thanks.

                    <radGrid:RadGridView x:Name="radGrid"
                                         Margin="10,10,10,10"
                                         AutoGenerateColumns="False">
                        <radGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
                            <radGrid:GridViewDataColumn Header="Administrator" DataMemberPath="Administrator"/>
                            <radGrid:GridViewDataColumn Header="Windows account" DataMemberPath="WindowsAccount"/>
                        </radGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
                    </radGrid:RadGridView>

    public partial class AdministratorList : Page
    {
        OperationsDomainContext _context = new OperationsDomainContext();

        public AdministratorList()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            radGrid.ItemsSource = _context.ReportAdministartors;
            _context.Load(_context.GetReportAdministartorsQuery());
        }

        // Executes when the user navigates to this page.
        protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
        }
    }

Hello Maxim,

The grid is relaying on the fact that your object has a default constructor and use it to create the new object. If your object did not have a parameterless constructor you should use the GridView's event AddingNewDataItem and set the NewObject property to your newly created object.

You can also look at our online example that is using RIA services and DomainDataSource here.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the info, however grid wont even fire a AddingNewDataItem event for some reason.
FYI: The entity named ReportAdministrator has default constructor and I am not using DomainDataSource. Can it be done without using DomainDataSource?

Thanks for the tip on the adding row bug - it just saved me a few hours :)

Now - whats the best way to commit that change?

Hello Kenneth,

The best way to commit changes is to have a save button somewhere on the screen. When the button is clicked you can call the SubmitChanges() method on the DomainContext class. This will submit all your changes you have made.

For further reading you can look out at the RIA Services Overview document which illustrates all the capabilities of the platform.
