Whether the item.UpdateValues () only works for GridBoundColumn instead of GridTemplateColumn?

Whether the item.UpdateValues ()  only works for GridBoundColumn instead of GridTemplateColumn in Update_Command event? Since I have no way to get updated item by UpdateValues if the column is GridTemplateColumn.

Hi Jin,

In order to extract values from a template you should use two-way binding through Bind instead of one-way (Eval). Please take a look into the sample code.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="FirstName" UniqueName="FirstNameTemplate">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <%# Eval("ShipName") %>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="FirstName" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ShipName") %>' />
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,
Shinu.
