No problem.

Hey -- before I launch into the EXCELLENT sample code you provided ... are you sure I need it?

I just tested my code again -- and have it showing what it is seeing in Grid1.ChangedItems in a panel -- and honestly, it seems to be working perfectly without the slightest lag -- maybe an extra update statement here/there but that's fine.

When you say it can't be "relied on" -- are you sure? What do you mean by that? I can't make it fail. Here's my VB so you can see I am seeing what it is seeing with every cell change. (I got this loop from your sample code.)

Protected Sub ScriptEvent1_Command(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.CommandEventArgs) Handles ScriptEvent1.Command
Dim vName As String
Dim vDocID As Int64
Dim s As String = String.Empty
If Grid1.ChangedItems.Length = 0 Then
s += "No item has changed."
Else
Dim item As GridItem
For Each item In Grid1.ChangedItems
Dim cell As GridCell
For Each cell In item.Cells

If cell.Modified Then
vName = cell.Value
vDocID = item.Key
SqlDataSource1.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE [Documents] SET [Name] = '" & vName & " ' WHERE [DocID] = " & vDocID.ToString
SqlDataSource1.Update()
Dim [text] As String = String.Format("Cell Changed: Key = {0}, Field = {1}, New Value = {2}", item.Key, cell.Column.DataField, cell.Value)

s += "<br />"
s += [text]
End If
Next cell
Next item
End If

'Response.Write(s)
Dim info As New Literal()
info.Text = s
Panel1.Controls.Add(info)
End Sub

OK, that wouldn't be an issue in my case (ever), but I can see how it would be an issue. I also think the SQLDataSource control has a built-in way around it.

I'll try your code too as it's cleaner/tighter.

Very good then, you win the "Best Support for Noobie Award" for today.

I'll try to post a "walk-through" style summary when I get it all done.

AND, barring anything that blows up or something -- I will, for certain, license your product. Great sales job.

function on_endedit(cell, newValue) {
var oldval = cell.getValue()
if (oldval != newValue) {
setTimeout(function() {
eo_TriggerServerEvent("<%=ScriptEvent1.ClientID%>", "whatever", "anything");
}, 10);
}
return newValue
}

I did this instead of the global var method you kindly provided above. It only raises the server event if the cell data has changed, therefore, I only ever have one item in Grid.ChangedItems and only ever do one update -- seemed easier to code and it appears to work flawlessly. Anything wrong with the idea?
