Update RadGrid inside Repeater

[archimede]

I have a web page that shows a parameters grid for each parameter group.
To achieve this result I want to use an asp Repeater. I can see the grid correctly but the radGrid update seems not to work. I think the grid cannot find the datasource at the update event.

This is the part on my page:

<table width="100%;">
        <tr>
            <td>
                <div style="width: 7cm;">
                </div>
            </td>
            <td style="text-align: right;">
            <asp:Label ID="LabelGruppo" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
                <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBoxGruppo" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSourceGruppiParametriComboBox"
                    DataTextField="NomeGruppo" DataValueField="IdGruppo" AutoPostBack="True"
                    AppendDataBoundItems="True">
                    <Items>
                        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="---" Value="-1" />
                    </Items>
                </telerik:RadComboBox>
                <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSourceGruppiParametriComboBox"
                    runat="server" SelectMethod="getAll"

                        <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="HiddenFieldIdCultura" Name="_idCultura"
                            PropertyName="Value" Type="Int64" />
                    </SelectParameters>
                </asp:ObjectDataSource>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>

                </MasterTableView>
            </telerik:RadGrid>
            <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSourceParametri" runat="server" SelectMethod="getAll"
        TypeName="MachinaWeb.Services.BO_ConfigurazioneProgramma_Parametro">
        <SelectParameters>

            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="HiddenFieldIdCultura" Name="_idCultura" PropertyName="Value"

            <asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenFieldIdGruppo" runat="server" Value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"IdGruppo")%>' />
        </ItemTemplate>
        <SeparatorTemplate>
            <%----- fine gruppo -----%>
            <div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
            </div>
        </SeparatorTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>
    <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSourceGruppiParametri" runat="server" SelectMethod="getAll"
        TypeName="MachinaWeb.Services.BO_ConfigurazioneProgramma_GruppoParametri">
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="HiddenFieldIdCultura" Name="_idCultura" PropertyName="Value"

            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="RadComboBoxGruppo" Name="_idGruppoSelezionato" PropertyName="SelectedValue"

        </SelectParameters>
    </asp:ObjectDataSource>
    <asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenFieldIdCultura" runat="server" />

And this is code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HiddenFieldIdCultura.Value = ((SessionInformation)Session["sessionData"]).IdCultura.ToString();

        BO_Azienda bo_azienda = new BO_Azienda(((SessionInformation)Session["sessionData"]).IdAzienda);
        LabelNomeAzienda.Text = bo_azienda.NomeAzienda;
        LabelIntestazioneAzienda.Text = bo_azienda.Intestazione;
    }

    protected void ParentRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
        {

            RadGrid radGrid = (RadGrid)e.Item.FindControl("RadGridParametriConfigurazione");
            ObjectDataSource ObjectDataSourceParametri = (ObjectDataSource)e.Item.FindControl("ObjectDataSourceParametri");
            ObjectDataSourceParametri.SelectParameters["_idGruppoParametro"].DefaultValue = ((HiddenField)e.Item.FindControl("HiddenFieldIdGruppo")).Value;

            radGrid.DataSource = ObjectDataSourceParametri;
            radGrid.DataBind();
        }
    }

Hi archimede,

In order to enable automatic operation with RadGrid, set the AllowAutometicUpdates/AllowAutomaticDeletes/AllowAutomaticInserts properties to true. Also make sure the data source control is configured so it supports Insert, Update and Delete operations.

Additionally, I suggest that you modify your server side code as below:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HiddenFieldIdCultura.Value = ((SessionInformation)Session["sessionData"]).IdCultura.ToString();

        BO_Azienda bo_azienda = new BO_Azienda(((SessionInformation)Session["sessionData"]).IdAzienda);
        LabelNomeAzienda.Text = bo_azienda.NomeAzienda;
        LabelIntestazioneAzienda.Text = bo_azienda.Intestazione;
    }

    protected void ParentRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
        {

            RadGrid radGrid = (RadGrid)e.Item.FindControl("RadGridParametriConfigurazione");
            ObjectDataSource ObjectDataSourceParametri = (ObjectDataSource)e.Item.FindControl("ObjectDataSourceParametri");
            ObjectDataSourceParametri.SelectParameters["_idGruppoParametro"].DefaultValue = ((HiddenField)e.Item.FindControl("HiddenFieldIdGruppo")).Value;

            radGrid.DataBind();
        }
    }

And for a sample on how to achieve automatic data source operations with ObjectDataSource control, you can try out this code library.
