Update(Command) with Custom Object how?

[alsi]

Hi All!

I have the following problem:
I wrote a Generic class called Demo. It has three properties (get, set) and has LoadAll and Update functions from/into database.

List<Demo> demo = IDemoFactory.LoadAll(); //gives all the items from a table.

In RadGrid NeedDataSource event:
radGridDemo.DataSource = demo;

and now what I need to know how can I do:
I change the properties of the selected (edited) object and run Update Command -> radGridDemo_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e) fired. and I need my edited Custom Demo object somehow in the following way.
Demo demo = e.Item.DataItem as Demo;
IDemoFactory.Update(demo);

Is it possible to do on the way mentioned above or I need to set the edited properties on a Demo type object and than i need to give it to my Update function?
I have 40 properties and hard to do...
I have the same question about InsertCommand.

I hope U understand my question.
thanks,
g.

Hello,

You can use GridEditableItem's UpdateValues method in order to populate your object's properties. Similar to the following:

protected void grdOrder_UpdateCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
        SimpleData data = new SimpleData();
        ((GridEditableItem)e.Item).UpdateValues(data);
//.. rest of the updating code
}
