When using programmatic binding how do I get a key value

[Fred]

Hi,

I have been trying to use programmatic binding based on the following demo https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-binding/client-side/programmatic/defaultcs.aspx but have been having a problem in getting the key value back into the asp.net code behind.

 

The code is (effectively) the same as the example except I am binding to an entity that has a Guid as a key rather than the EmployeeId in the example and I have added a "delete" button using the following

          <telerik:GridButtonColumn UniqueName="DeleteButtonColumn" ButtonType="ImageButton" CommandName="Delete" ConfirmText="Are you sure?" ConfirmDialogType="Classic" ConfirmTitle="Are you sure?" />

I have set up the DataKeyNames and ClientDataKeyNames in the MasterTableView to be DataKeyNames="GUID" and ClientDataKeyNames="GUID"

In the code behind I have added an ItemCommand event that gets called, however

(GridDataItem)e.Item.GetDataKeyValue("GUID") is blank

(GridDataItem)e.Item.KeyValues contains "{GUID:""""}"

 

Can I use programmatic binding method with a GridButtonColumn with type ImageButton in this way?

Hi Fred,

Accessing the Items, Keys, values and controls in the Code behind can be done for the RadGrid which is bound on server side. In case you have implemented the Client-Side programmatic binding, then you would need to use the Client-Side APIs to work with the grid. 

Here is the article that describes the way you can access items in client-side code: Accessing Cells and Values in Client-Side Code
