Set Edit mode property in ItemDataBound event handler

[cheburek]

Hello

I need to set grid rows to edit mode base on there model data. For this purpose I use ItemDataBound event as following

Private Sub weldsGrid_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles weldsGrid.ItemDataBound
    If (e.Item.ItemType = Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemType.Item OrElse _
        e.Item.ItemType = Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemType.AlternatingItem OrElse _
        e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.EditItem) Then

      If (e.Item.ItemIndex > -1) Then
        Dim row = CType(CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView).Row, MyDataSet.DataSetRow)
        e.Item.Edit = row.IsActive()
      End If

    End If
  End Sub

And it set up the first time row to edit mode but then if I make grid rebind with another filter in my stored procedure and load other data incorrect row will be editable (on the same place as was item before - it passed to ItemDataBound with EditItem type and code set Item.Edit to false). After that any postback cause viewstate load exception

Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request.

Is it possible somehow to manipulate with row Edit mode from ServerSide using model data?

Thanks in advance

Hi cheburek,

In order to achieve your goal, I suggest that you handle the grid PreRender event. There you can loop through the grid items and check what of them apply to your condition. Then after setting the desired items in edit mode, you will need to Rebind() the grid.

Give it a try and let me know if any issues arise.

I cannot check that solution for now because it is quite old piece of code.

On that moment I found another workaround - rejected idea of using view/edit grid modes, added to view mode readonly and edit controls and manually set their Visible property depending on required condition in ItemDataBound event handler. This way does not require grid rebinding.

Thanks a ton for your help anyway
