setting default value on New insert row basing on the value of previous row

[Tai]

Hi
Is it possible to set the default value of the next empty cell on the new row basing on the value of the previous value of the same column?
For example, assuming we have a radgridview with 2 column Reference , Amount and some available data
Reference  Amount
ABC            100
BCD             200

after pressing 'insert' , it will appear an empty row with default value of Reference will be "BCD" (the value of the previous cell in the same column)


thank you

Hi Tai,

Yes, this is possible. You need to subscribe to the AddingNewDataItem event of the grid and initialize your business object the way you need:

private void clubsGrid_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)
{
    e.NewObject = new Club()
    {
        Name = (this.clubsGrid.Items[this.clubsGrid.Items.Count - 1] as Club).Name
    };
}

Hope this will get you started.

Sincerely yours,
