Tutorial for editing in nested grid

[Dennis Gundersen]

Hi

I've got a nested gridview which I want to be editable. The master gridview works fine out of the box, but I need to set one of the controls in the nested grid to the parent key field value at insert, and preferably hide it in edit mode as well. Is there a tutorial for how this is done somewhere?

Grid one: PersonID
Grid two: AddressID, PersonID (must get value from parent grid)....

Hello Dennis,

I suppose you are using a Hierarchical grid. If thats the case then, here's an example to achieve a similar scenario as yours. You can alter the logic according to your requirement.
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand">
       <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" Name="Master">
              <DetailTables>
                     <telerik:GridTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" EditMode="InPlace" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" Name="Detail" runat="server">

c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if ((e.Item is GridDataInsertItem) && (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))
        {
            GridDataInsertItem insertItem = (GridDataInsertItem)e.Item;
            ((TextBox)insertItem["BoundColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0]).Text = insertItem.OwnerTableView.ParentItem.GetDataKeyValue("FirstName").ToString();

        }
   }

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail") // to check for the detail table
        {
            GridBoundColumn col = (GridBoundColumn)e.Item.OwnerTableView.GetColumn("BoundColumnUniqueName");
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
            {
                col.ReadOnly = true;
            }
            else
            {
                col.ReadOnly = false;
            }
         }
    }

Hope this helps..
Princy.
