Webforms Grid - ToolBar / Rendering Error

[Danie van Eeden]

Hi,

the moment I add the following:

<ToolbarSettings ShowToolbar="True" ToolbarItems="add,edit,delete,update,cancel"></ToolbarSettings>

to my grid, the grid gives my the following data source error:

There was an error renderinge the control. The DatasourceID of Grid1 must be the ID of a control of type IDatasource....

I then need to relink the data source for the grid to display.

Hi Danie, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

Query: Error thrown as “ The DatasourceID of Grid1 must be the ID of a control of type IDatasource”. 

We have analyzed your query and we suspect that you bind the SqlDataSource in Grid. If we miss to add the  SqlDataSource connecting string in the Grid code then the reported issue get reproduced. 

Please ensure that you have add the SqlDataSource connection string to the sample and the ID given in the SqlDataSource connection string, DataSourceID value of ejGrid property both are same.  

Refer the below code example. 

<ej:Grid ID="Grid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlData" Query ="new ej.Query().from('Orders').select(['OrderID', 'CustomerID', 'EmployeeID', 'ShipCity', 'Freight']).take(5)">  

       <EditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true" EditMode="Dialog" /> 

            <ToolbarSettings ShowToolbar="True" ToolbarItems="add,edit,delete,update,cancel"></ToolbarSettings> 

            <Columns> 

                 

               --------------------- 

            </Columns>            

                         

        </ej:Grid> 

        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlData" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SQLConnectionString %>" 

            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Orders]"></asp:SqlDataSource> 

We have prepared a sample and it can be downloadable from the below location.
