Row select of a Radgrid in a repeater

[Paul Gothard]

Hi,

I have a rad grid inside a repeater and all i want to do is get the row select to fire some server side code but I can not get the code to fire.

    <asp:Repeater ID="rptExaminations"
        runat="server"
        OnItemDataBound="rptExaminations_ItemDataBound"
        OnItemCommand="rptExaminations_ItemCommand"                
        EnableViewState="true">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:Label ID="lblExaminationReference" runat="server" CssClass="summaryHeading"></asp:Label>
                      .......
            <atkins:RadGrid ID="grdExhibits"
                runat="server"
                AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                AllowSorting="False"
                AllowPaging="False"
                AllowMultiRowSelection="false"
                GridLines="None"
                ClientSettings-EnableRowHoverStyle="true"           
                >
                <ClientSettings>
                    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
                </ClientSettings>
                <MasterTableView NoMasterRecordsText="There are no exhbits">
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridClientSelectColumn UniqueName="ClientSelectColumn" HeaderStyle-Width="25px" ItemStyle-Width="25px" CommandArgument="ExhibitSelected" />
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Witness Ref" UniqueName="WitnessReference" DataField="WitnessRef"
                            HeaderStyle-Width="150px">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Barcode" UniqueName="BarCode" DataField="Barcode"
                            HeaderStyle-Width="150px">

                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Date / Time Seized" UniqueName="SeizedDate"
                            DataField="DateTimeObtained" DataFormatString="{0:mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm}" HeaderStyle-Width="100px">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Property Reference Number" UniqueName="PropertyReferenceNumber"
                            DataField="CPR" HeaderStyle-Width="150px">

                        </atkins:GridExpandTextColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
            </atkins:RadGrid>
            <br class="clear" />
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>

      #region examinations repeater
        protected void rptExaminations_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Item && e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                return;
            }
            else
            {

                // populate the exhibits
                Atkins.Locard.Web.Controls.RadGrid grdExhibits = (Atkins.Locard.Web.Controls.RadGrid)e.Item.FindControl("grdExhibits");
                grdExhibits.DataSource = examination.Exhibits;
                grdExhibits.DataBind();

            }
        }

        protected void rptExaminations_ItemCommand(object sender, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == "ExhibitSelected")
            {
                //todo
                int selectedIndex = rtsExaminations.SelectedIndex;
                RepeaterItem repeaterItem = rptExaminations.Items[selectedIndex];
                RadGrid grdExhibits = (RadGrid)repeaterItem.FindControl("grdExhibits");
                if (grdExhibits.SelectedItems.Count == 1)
                {
                    GridItem gridItem = grdExhibits.SelectedItems[0];
                    BarCode = gridItem.Attributes["BarCode"].ToString();
                }
                else
                {
                    BarCode = "";
                }
            }
        }

        #endregion

I'm sure its something simple i'm missing

Firstly the GridClientSelectColumn does not postback when you select it. Now I notice you have the AllowRowSelect enabled. To handle the row click you would need to attach the event handler to the RadGrid control, not the repeater control. Even if you had a CommandName set inside the RadGrid it would not bubble up to the Repeater, the RadGrid control would handle all ItemCommands.

I hope that helps.
