Hello Bikrant,

When Edit command is fired, the edit form is not created yet. Therefore, the Null value is assigned to the UserControl. The proper place to access the edit form controls is ItemDataBound. Please examine the sample code snippet below and let me know if it works as expected:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
           {
               GridEditFormItem editFormItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
               UserControl userControl= (UserControl)editFormItem.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID);
               (userControl.FindControl("A") as HiddenField).Value = item["x"].Text;
               (userControl.FindControl("B") as HiddenField).Value = item["Y"].Text;
           }
       }

All the best,

well the itemdatabound is now working and i figured out why it was not working for me.

I was expecting that the user control will load after the Itemdatabound event is triggered on the grid. but that is not the case. The Page_Load of the control happens before the grids item data bound. i want the control fields to get set when they are accessed in the Page_Load of the user control.

[FireHolster]

when i say itemdatabound is triggered after, i mean that the item comes in edit mode only after the user control page_load is complete.

here's what all i have to do on the page load of the User control (editform) to get the grid item and set the controls

 

 

GridEditFormItem editedFormItem = (GridEditFormItem)this.Parent.NamingContainer;

 

string a = editFormitem["WhatEver"].Text;

Hi Bikrant,

I tried your solution below:
"here's what all i have to do on the page load of the User control (editform) to get the grid item and set the controls

 

 

GridEditFormItem editedFormItem = (GridEditFormItem)this.Parent.NamingContainer;

 

string a = editFormitem["WhatEver"].Text;"

This did not work, I got the following error: "Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPWebPartManager' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormItem'."

Please help?
