Two-way databinding in ListView

[Steinar]

Is there a way to persist changes in a textbox within a listview to the correct object in a custom object list?
I cannot find an elegant way to do this.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadWindow ID="rwCreateTask" runat="server" Modal="True" Height="600px" Width="400px">
       <ContentTemplate>
            <telerik:RadListView ID="RadListView1" runat="server">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <table>
                        <tr>
                            <td>

                            </td>
                            <td>
                                Oppgave:
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                Type:
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Line") == DBNull.Value ? "" : Eval("Line") %>'></asp:Label>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Text") == DBNull.Value ? "" : Bind("Text") %>' OnTextChanged="RadTextBox1_TextChanged"></telerik:RadTextBox>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <telerik:RadDropDownList ID="RadDropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="taskTypeSource" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="TaskTypeId">
                                </telerik:RadDropDownList>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadListView>
            <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="Legg til oppgave" OnClick="RadButton1_Click"></telerik:RadButton>
        </ContentTemplate>
    </telerik:RadWindow>

Code-behind:

public partial class TaskListControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        BindingList<CogTaskGenItem> taskItems = new BindingList<CogTaskGenItem>();
        CogTaskGenItem taskItem = new CogTaskGenItem();

         protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Session["taskItems"] != null)
            {
                taskItems = (BindingList<CogTaskGenItem>)Session["taskItems"];
            }
        }

        protected void btnCreateTask_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string script = "<script>openWindow();</script>";
            Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "OpenTaskWindow", script);
        }

        public void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            AddTaskItem();
        }

        private void AddTaskItem()
        {
            taskItem = new CogTaskGenItem();
            taskItem.Line = taskItems.Count + 1;
            taskItems.Add(taskItem);
            RadListView1.DataSource = taskItems;

            Session["taskItems"] = taskItems;
        }

        protected void RadTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            taskItems.Clear();

            foreach (var item in RadListView1.Items)
            {
                taskItem = (CogTaskGenItem)item.DataItem;
                taskItem.Text = ((RadTextBox)sender).Text;
                taskItems.Add(taskItem);
            }

            RadListView1.DataSource = taskItems;
            Session["taskItems"] = taskItems;
        }
    }

Hello,

 Normally the textbox control persists its text changes on postback.
The recommended way of saving data from the ListView can be found in the following demos:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/listview/examples/dataediting/net35automaticdataediting/defaultcs.aspx
You put an item in edit mode, then edit the data and click the save button to persist the data.
Otherwise if you need to persist the changed text on any kind of postback, your approach with the TextChanged event of the textbox seems reasonable enough.
