RowDataBound e.Row.DataItem RadGrid equivalent

[Richard]

In the past I have used something like this:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

            {

                var dr = (ObjectTypeBeingBound)e.Row.DataItem;

                HyperLink editLink = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("hlEditLink");

                editLink.Attributes.Add("onclick", String.Format("openRadWindow({0},{1})", dr.Id, dr.Name));

            }

        }

How do I do similar with a RadGrid?  My best attempt (not an exact replacement for the above method) so far is:

protected void gvSpecs_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

            {

                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

                var supplierPartNumber = item.GetDataKeyValue("SupplierPartNumber");

                var setNo = item.GetDataKeyValue("SetNo");

                HyperLink editLink = (HyperLink)item["editAttributes"].Controls[0];

                editLink.Attributes.Add("onclick", String.Format("openRadWindow({0},{1})", 

                    supplierPartNumber != null ? supplierPartNumber: String.Empty, 

                    setNo != null ? setNo : String.Empty));                

            }

        }

But I can seem to only access the datakeys and not the rest of the datasource cast as an object.

Thanks

Hi,

Try the following code to access cell values in RadGrid.
C#:

protected void gvSpecs_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
 {
   GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
   TableCell cell = (TableCell)item["Uniquename"];
   string value = cell.Text;
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Hi Princy,

Thanks for the response but I wanted to access the data object being bound and not a cell value.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi,

Unfortunately I didn't understand your requirement. Data bound to a row in RadGrid are normally accessed using TableCell or using FindControl(if controls are inside Template column). Can you specify what is the 'ObjectTypeBeingBound' in the 'var dr = (ObjectTypeBeingBound)e.Row.DataItem;'. Please provide the full code to understand your requirement.
Here is a sample code I have created.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" onitemdatabound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound">
    <MasterTableView>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="OrderID" UniqueName="OrderID">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlFormatString="ShipCity" UniqueName="ShipCity">
            </telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        TableCell cell = (TableCell)item["Uniquename"]; //accessing Table cell
        string value = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "DataField").ToString();
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Dear Princy,

Thanks for the code on how to access the cell value in a RadGrid! :)

Hi Richard 

Try this
     
RadGrid.ItemDataBound += delegate(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
          var ObjectYouWant = e.Item.DataItem;
    }
}

I don't think this works if you have a GridTemplateColumn. How can i get that underlying value? When i inspect it returns ""

Hi Kim,

You can use the DataBinder.Eval method to achieve this requirement. Please bear in mind that the DataItem object is available only during the ItemDataBound event handler:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-raw-field-data-and-key-values

I hope this will prove helpful.
