Problem with Telerik RadGrid: ‘Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject’ does not contain a property with the name 'XXX '

Question

I've been trying to find the workaround for the following problem for the last couple of hours, but without any success. I've found many of the possible solutions on the Internet, but none of them was solution to my problem. I've also posted the same question on official Telerik's forum even though I'm almost sure that I'll get no response from them.

The problem occurs when I want to insert data into empty datasource. I've been able to find workarounds for RadComboBoxes, but not for the Textboxes. The error that is displayed is: "DataBinding: 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridInsertionObject' does not contain a property with the name 'OpciPrioritet'."

Here is the code:

I really hope you guys will be able to help me so any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Ok, I was able to find a workaround. What you have to do is to add ItemCommand event.

protected void gvTicketi_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.InitInsertCommandName)
        {
            e.Canceled = true;
            System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary newValues = new System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary();
            newValues["DatumPrijave"] = " ";
            newValues["DatumDo"] = " ";
            newValues["Opis"] = " ";
            newValues["OpisZatvoren"] = " ";
            newValues["Biljeske"] = " ";
            newValues["Zatvoren"] = false;
            newValues["Asset"] = "Bez pridruženog asseta";

            e.Item.OwnerTableView.InsertItem(newValues);
        }
    }
