UpdateCommand & PostBack

[Roy Halvorsen]

I have a grid with a formtemplate. Inside the formtemplate I have a DropDownList that has set AutopostBack="true" and OnSelectedIndexChanged="something". The DropDownList is inside an updatepanel. In the code behind, in RadGrid1_UpdateCommand, I check if the dropdownlist's SelectedIndex > 0. If not, The UpdateCommand should be terminated (I am using editedItem.Edit = true).

When I play around with the DropDownList several times, set the SelectedIndex to 0, click on the UpdateCommand button, and then again selects for instance index 1 in the DropDownList, a full postback on the page is done, without clicking the UpdateCommand button.
Any ideas?

Hi Roy,

To cancel the update command try setting e.Canceled = true; instead of editedItem.Edit = true; and see if it makes any difference.
Additionally, it is not suggested to have ASP:UpdatePanel in RadGrid. You can try either ajaxifying the whole grid or wrap the DropDownList in RadAjaxPanel and see if it works thus.

Best wishes,

Thanks.
e.Canceled = true; did the work for me.
