SelectedItems empty with client side row select

[Aldert]

Hi,

I think I'm overseeing a very simple thing here, but I just cannot get the SelectedItems collection filled....

I have the following control:
<telerik:RadGrid ID="grdTemplates" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None" AllowMultiRowSelection="false"AllowSorting="false" OnNeedDataSource="grdTemplates_NeedDataSource" OnItemDataBound="grdTemplates_ItemDataBound" OnItemCommand="grdTemplates_ItemCommand">
<ClientSettings>
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True"></Selecting>
</ClientSettings>

The selection client-side is not problem. But when I click on the Next button on the screen, the grdTemplates.SelectedItems.Count is always 0.

Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Kind regards,

Aldert Polman

Hello Aldert,

Let us know in which event handler you are performing this check. Depending on the particular case you may need to set EnablePostBackOnRowClick property in order to achieve the functionality.

<ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="True">

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick response!

I have a button on the same panel as the RadGrid control:

 

<asp:Button ID="btnComplete" runat="server" onclick="btnComplete_Click" Enabled="false" />

 

In the code behind I have the following code:

 

protected void btnComplete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PeterBlum.DES.Globals.Page.Validate();
if (PeterBlum.DES.Globals.Page.IsValid == true)
{
    currentProject.TemplateId = 100;
    currentProject.Save();
    Response.Redirect("~/pages/project/projectsquare.aspx?project=" + 
            currentProject.ProjectId.ToString() + "&verification=" + 
            currentProject.ExternalTestId.ToString());
}
}

 

I want to have the grdTemplates.SelectedValue on the hardcoded 100.

I placed the EnablePostBackOnRowClick="True" in the code and this raised:

 

public void grdTemplates_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

 

I can make a workaround that uses this event, but if there is a proper solution I would prefer that one.

Kind regards,

Aldert

Hello Aldert,

The SelectedItems collection is updated on server-side after a postback occurs.
Regarding the SelectedValue property - it is read-only and it is not possible to assign values to.

Also note that if you handled SelectedIndexChanged without EnablePostBackOnRowClick set to true the mentioned event won't raise until the next postback.

Finally, you may experience such issues if your ViewState is disabled.

Let me know whether this clarification is helpful.
