SavedOldValues on External Form

[Mayuresh]

Can I use SavedOldValues() for a GridEditableDataItem if I am using External Form ? If not, how do I create a business object with the old values from Selected Grid Data Item that is up for Editing ?

Hi,

I suppose you need the old values in the FormTemplate.You can save old value on ItemDataBound when the grid item is in edit mode and then reference it on update. Here is the sample code snippet I tried.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateColumns="false" AutoGenerateEditColumn="true" onitemdatabound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" onupdatecommand="RadGrid1_UpdateCommand">
    <MasterTableView>
        <EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
            <FormTemplate>
                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("OrderID") %>' ></asp:TextBox>
                <asp:Button ID="Upd" runat="server" CommandName="Update" Text="Update" />
            </FormTemplate>
        </EditFormSettings>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="OrderID" DataField="OrderID">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        TextBox txtBox = e.Item.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox;
        Session["savedOldValue"] = txtBox.Text;
    }
}
protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    string val= (string)Session["savedOldValue"];
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
