Question

Is there a way to select a radgrid row from outside radgrid event for example like from inside a buttonclick event? I have a ragrid with a column “productname”, some other columns and a GridClientSelectColumn(checkbox).

My page also has a textbox and a button. When user type a product name, say ‘n’, in textbox and press button, I want the checkbox of row containing that particular product name to get checked.

Is this possible? The reason why I want this in because, my users will scan the product name using barcode scanner.

Please try with code snippet.

.aspx.cs

 protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
    {
        // By using Datakey
        if (item.GetDataKeyValue("ID").ToString() == "1")
        {
            item.Selected = true;
        }

        // By using column
        if (item["Name"].Text== "Name1") // "Name" is column unique name
        {
            item.Selected = true;
        }
    }
}

.aspx

<MasterTableView  DataKeyNames="ID">

            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
