Question

I have a radgrid controlling access to an application for users. There are two columns, a ‘name’ column and a checkbox ‘access’ column representing their current access permission. the checkboxes are populated from a database. I would like the to change the checkboxes to grant or deny access to the users I specify. Since there are alot of users I would like to make multiple changes and use a submit button to write the changes to the database. I do not want to postback with each checkbox change and wait for the page to “blink”. My problem is that with the checkbox postback disabled, when I click submit, the value of the checkboxes are not registering the changes I make. I need a way to access the current client-side state of the checkbox or some workaround to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the support. It turns out that the issue wasnt with client/server-side visibility, but with the page lifecycle. I was refreshing the radgrid in the PageLoad method and checking the value of the checkboxes in the Submit method. I didn’t realize PageLoad was executed prior to Submit, thus clearing my selections. By removing the RadGrid refresh from PageLoad, the current values of the checkboxs were preserved.
