hi, i just downloaded your controls and they look wonderful, so i will make tests to finalize my decision to purchase.

i am trying to do the following,i dont want to use radgrid edit functions, i want to add a rad grid with records and i want to click edit button then it will show form view with the records data so i can update or insert a new record, my questions are

-what is the best approach to make edit button?

-best way to pass the record id to the form view without page refresh?

-i want when i click edit to hide the grid and show the form view and vise versa when i update the record to hide form view and show grid view so should i add to the button click even a command to make grid.visible = false and form view.visible = true and vise versa ? or should i do that through java script to change the css class for each ?

-when i finish the edit and go back to hte grid i want the edited row grid to be highlighted ?

- best approch to ajexefy the whole process?

thx in advanced

Hello Feras,

1.You can create an EditButton by setting the CommandName property of the button as shown below.

    
             <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" ImageUrl="~/images (2)/Edit Image (2).bmp" CommandName="Edit" runat="server" />

2. You can get the DataKeyValue(recordID) of the row and store it in a global variable and pass it in the FormView.

3.You can try the following code to hide the grid and show the Form view on clicking Edit and hide form view and show grid view on clicking Update.

    
             protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    if (e.CommandName == "Edit") 
        
                    { 
        
                        RadGrid1.Visible = false; 
        
                        FormView1.Visible = true;            
        
                    } 
        
                } 
        
             // on the click event of the UpdateButton

            protected void UpdateButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    RadGrid1.Visible = true; 
        
                    FormView1.Visible = false; 
        
                }

5.To Ajaxify the whole process you can use RadAjaxManager or RadAjaxPanel and place the controls in it.

Hello feras,
2.You can get the DataKeyValue as shown below.
cs:

    
             string ID; 
        
              protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
        
                {          
        
                    if (e.Item is GridDataItem) 
        
                    { 
        
                        GridDataItem data = (GridDataItem)e.Item; 
        
                       ID = data.GetDataKeyValue("RecordID").ToString();           
        
                    } 
        
               }

4.You can try the following code to set the edited row selected.
cs:

    
              bool isSelected; 
        
                protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                      if (e.Item is GridEditableItem &&  e.Item.IsInEditMode) 
        
                        { 
        
                              if (!e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted) 
        
                                { 
        
                                    Session["selIndex"] = e.Item.ItemIndex; 
        
                                } 
        
                                e.Item.Selected = true; 
        
                               isSelected = true;    
        
                         } 
        
                 } 
        
                 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        
                 { 
        
                    if (!isSelected && Session["selIndex"] != null) 
        
                    { 
        
                        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[(int)Session["selIndex"]].Selected = true; 
        
                        Session["selIndex"] = null; 
        
                    } 
        
                }

Thanks
