Server side selecting row on other Grid Page

[Danny Scheelings]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid with Paging, Sorting and Filtering enabled. The datasource is provided in the code-behind using the NeedDataSource event.
Now I want to select a row with a certain DataKeyValue. This is currently done with the folowing method I created:

public void SelectRow<DataKeyType>(DataKeyType dataKeyValue)
{
    int index = 0;
    foreach (Telerik.Web.UI.DataKey key in this.MasterTableView.DataKeyValues)
    {
        DataKeyType value = key.Values.OfType<DataKeyType>().FirstOrDefault();
        this.MasterTableView.Items[index].Selected = (value.Equals(dataKeyValue));
        index++;
    }
}

The above code works only when the certain DataKeyValue is present on the current Grid Page. Only the DataKeyValues of the current page are present in the DataKeyValues collection.

For as far I know I cannot request the binded datasource (whith filtering and sorting implemented) from the Grid, so I cannot calculate on which Grid Page the DataKeyValue should exist.

Does anybody know how I can select a row on another Page of the Grid? Is there a way to request the binded datasource from the Grid, so I can calculate the PageIndex of the row which must be selected?

Thanx,
Danny

Hi Pavlina,

Thanks for your quick reply. I already had a similar solution in mind, but I first wanted to know if I did not miss any knowledge of the RadGrid functionality.

So, there is not a way to request the actual datasource (with filtering and sorting taken into account) the Grid is using to Render?

Thanks,
Danny

Hello Danny ,

The ItemCommand and SelectedIndexChanged event handlers use the DataKeyValues array to access the primary key of a row when it enters edit mode or when it is selected.
More info is available here:

I know this is old post and don't really want to fire a new thread but I followed this example to retrieve my primary key value and is not even finding the definitions specified in this link and this post http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-retrieve-primary-key-field-values-for-items.html

Hi Jorge,

I guess you want the datakey value of the selected row in the OnSelectedIndexChanged event. Make sure you have set the DataKeyNames property, and EnablePostBackOnRowClick= true. Take a look at the below code snippet:

ASPX:

<ClientSettings Selecting-AllowRowSelect="true" EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
</ClientSettings>
<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ID">

C#:

protected void rgrdSample_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 string id = (rgrdSample.SelectedItems[0] as GridDataItem).GetDataKeyValue("ID").ToString();
}

Thanks,
Princy
