Hello Prabu,

I suppose you want to validate a bound column when it is in EditMode. If that is the case, you can try out the following code, wherein I have used a RequiredFieldValidator control to validate the textbox:
aspx:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="ProductName" DataField="ProductName" HeaderText="Product Name">
 </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)editItem["ProductName"].Controls[0];
            txtbx.ID = "TextValidated";

            RequiredFieldValidator reqfdvalidtr = new RequiredFieldValidator();
            reqfdvalidtr.ID = "RequiredFieldValidator1";
            reqfdvalidtr.ErrorMessage = "RequiredField";
            reqfdvalidtr.ControlToValidate = "TextValidated";
            editItem["ProductName"].Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
            editItem["ProductName"].Controls.Add(reqfdvalidtr);

        }
    }

Thanks

Hi Princy,

Thanks for ur previous post... I got the solution............Can u solve my latest problem im facing

Im using 2 level hierarchical grid....After clicking on add new button in mastertable view when I click on expand button in the grid I cant able to close that InitInsert mode, like vice the edit mode also...

my requirement is to do only one operation at a time

when i click on editbutton in grid, If the Initinsert mode is in open mode then it should be closed.

likewise when i click expandcollapse button, if the Initinsert mode and edit mode should be automatically closed in mastertable view

and also for detail table view

im using edit mode as Inline Mode

Hello Prabu,

You can set the Name properties for the MasterTableView and the DetailTableView and check for the CommandNames for the OwnerTable based on their names as shown below:
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid AllowCustomPaging="true" ID="RadGrid2" runat="server"  OnItemCommand="RadGrid2_ItemCommand">
      <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" EditMode="InPlace" Name="Master">
       <DetailTables>
         <telerik:GridTableView EditMode="InPlace" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"  CommandItemDisplay="Top" Name="Detail" runat="server" >
           .....

cs:

 protected void RadGrid2_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Master" || e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail")
        {
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
            {
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.ClearEditItems();

            }
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
            {
                e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted = false;

            }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
