Value is " " on event SelectedIndexChanged

[Denis]

I tried to get the ID value from selected row in a RadGrid. But what I try, I keep the value " ".
The data is collected by a WCF webservice by the way.

Below the ASP code I use:

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager" runat="server" EnableHandlerDetection="false">
        <Scripts>

        </Scripts>
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>

    <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server">
        <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="gridSimCards">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="gridSimCards" />
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

    <div class="pagetitle"><asp:Literal ID="ltrPageTitle" runat="server" /></div>

    <telerik:RadGrid ID="gridSimCards" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" Skin="Silk" AllowFilteringByColumn="true" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="10" AllowSorting="true"
        OnSelectedIndexChanged="gridSimCards_SelectedIndexChanged">
        <ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true" EnableRowHoverStyle="true" AllowColumnsReorder="true">
            <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
            <Resizing AllowColumnResize="true" ShowRowIndicatorColumn="true" />
            <DataBinding SelectMethod="GetSimCards"
                Location="../WebServices/GridDataProvider.svc"
                SelectCountMethod="GetSimCardsCount"
                MaximumRowsParameterName="rowCount"
                StartRowIndexParameterName="rowStart"
                SortParameterName="sorter" SortParameterType="List"
                FilterParameterName="filter" FilterParameterType="List"  />
        </ClientSettings>
        <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" AlwaysVisible="true" />
        <MasterTableView Width="100%" DataKeyNames="ID">
            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="ID" DataField="ID" HeaderText="#" DataType="System.String"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Provider" HeaderText="Provider" DataType="System.String"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Country" HeaderText="Land" DataType="System.String"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="SIMNumber" HeaderText="SIM-nummer" DataType="System.String"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="TelephoneNumber" HeaderText="Telefoonnummer" DataType="System.String"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ContactPeriodFrom" HeaderText="Contract van" DataType="System.DateTime"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ContractPeriodTill" HeaderText="Contract tot" DataType="System.DateTime"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="InUse" HeaderText="In gebruik" DataType="System.Boolean"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            </Columns>

        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

 

The code below is use to get the value of the selected ID column:

protected void gridSimCards_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int selectedRowIdx = gridSimCards.SelectedItems[0].ItemIndex;

    GridDataItem selectedItem = (GridDataItem)gridSimCards.MasterTableView.Items[selectedRowIdx];

    string str = selectedItem["ID"].Text;
}

 

What am I doing wrong, or what am I missing?

Hello Denis,

Here is the answer from the support ticket that you have opened with the same question:

"With client-side binding, the values of the items will be available only on the client-side and it is not possible to retrieve them on a server-side event. With that in mind, if you need to retrieve the values from the selected item you will have to disable the "PostBackOnRowClick", which is initiating the postback, and handle the client-side OnRowSelecting or OnRowSelected events and retrieve the values there:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/client-side-programming/events/onrowselecting "
