Having a Radio button one in each column in a Datagrid but belong to the same group?

[Satish Appasani]

Hi:

I want to develop a page which contains a datagrid and a couple of columns
in the grid will have radio buttons. All the radio buttons in a row should
belong to the same group so that when i check one the other is unchecked.

Any clue on this? Thanks in advance

You may want to just add the radio button to each cell on the itemcreated
event handler and then set the group property on each button so that they
belong to the same family to give you the behavior you are after.

if (i.itemtype.listit == listitem.alternate or listitem.item)

radiobutton t = new radiobutton();
t.GroupName = "onefamily"
radiobutton tt = new radiobutton();
rr.GroupName = "onefamily"

e.item.cells[2].controls.add(t);
e.item.cells[3].controls.add(t);
and so on and so forth

this is rough code, it will not compile, but the approach is correct

Have you looked into using a TemplateColumn in your DataGrid? This is a
very powerful way to generate neet stuff in custom columns.
You could just set the GroupName to the samething for all the ones you want
to be linked. And then determine which one is selected in your handler
function based on either which row in the table its in or some other data
that you associate with it in the TemplateColumn.
