RowCreated has null _dataItem

[Jonathan Coy]

Hi

I am using Ajax controls Q1 2010 RadGrid control for client side binding. I need to format rows based on the values in the returned row.  I found a good postng on how to do this (see here) but when I try to access the row data using eventArgs.get_gridDataItem().get_dataItem() in the RowCreated client event it always returns null.  Is this by design as it seems rather odd.  Strangely I am using the RowSelected event on the same grid and it returns the data without any problem.

Can anyone help me???

Cheers
Jonny

Hello Jonathan,

You do not have access to the JSON data item for the respective grid row in the RowCreated client event. Use RowDataBound instead, similar to the RadGrid client-side programmatic binding demo. In the event handler, the event argument's get_dataItem() function will return the JSON data item for the databound row.

All the best,
