Retrieve values from custom form in ASPxGridView

Question

I have a custom edit form made for ASPxGridView but have a big problem retrieving the values when inserting.

The template:

<Templates>
    <EditForm>
        Company Name: <dx:ASPxTextBox ID="CompanyName" runat="server" />
        Company Mail: <dx:ASPxTextBox ID="Email" runat="server" />

        <dx:ASPxGridViewTemplateReplacement ID="UpdateButton" ReplacementType="EditFormUpdateButton" runat="server" />
        <dx:ASPxGridViewTemplateReplacement ID="CancelButton" ReplacementType="EditFormCancelButton" runat="server" />

    </EditForm>
</Templates>

it fails, the e.NewValues are empty

protected void ASPxGridView1_RowInserting(object sender, DevExpress.Web.Data.ASPxDataInsertingEventArgs e)
{
    string CompanyName = (string)e.NewValues["CompanyName"]; // (or .toString())
    string Email = (string)e.NewValues["Email"];
}

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks

The e.NewValues collection is empty because you did not bind editors to data. To make your code work, it should be changed as follows:

Company Name: <dx:ASPxTextBox ID="CompanyName" runat="server" Value="<% #Bind('CompanyName')%>"/>
Company Mail: <dx:ASPxTextBox ID="Email" runat="server" Value="<% #Bind('Email')%>"/>

I am facing the same problem, but I my controls are already bound by using #Bind. What I noticed is that only the controls that are inside my ASPxPageControl lose their values. Their values won't be sent through e.NewValues not matter what I do. @DevExpressTeam – MMalke Oct 30 '14 at 16:42

It looks like your trying to assign the NewValues to a string. The RowUpdatingEvent seems like a better event to get the NewValues; you would also have access to the OldValues. Check it out: http://documentation.devexpress.com/#AspNet/DevExpressWebASPxGridViewASPxGridView_RowUpdatingtopic
