How to set value of a cell in new row

[Alexander Tashkov]

Hi,

I have a UserControl with SfDataGrid bound to a custom object collection.

When a new row is added to the datagrid, I need to set programmatically the value of a specific column. I see the datagrid creates a new object for the new row, yet cannot set the respective property of the object in the constructor, as at that moment the value is still unknown.

How can I get a reference to the newly created object bound to the new row in order to set its property programmatically?

Would an alternative solution be to set the value of a cell on a newly created row in the datagrid and, if yes, how can I do that?

Best regards,

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Your requirement to “Set the default value of a cell in AddNewRow” will be achievable by using the SfDataGrid.AddNewRowInitiating event as shown below,

this.dataGrid.AddNewRowInitiating += dataGrid_AddNewRowInitiating;

 

void dataGrid_AddNewRowInitiating(object sender, AddNewRowInitiatingEventArgs args)

{

    var data = args.NewObject as OrderInfo;

    data.OrderID = 101;

}

For more information related to Initializing default values for AddNewRow, please refer to the below user guide documentation link,
