Can you pass two Values in preEdit in ASP.Net?

Hgoober

Is is it possible to to pass two Values in preEdit? Currently I have

editor.PreEdit += (sender, e) => 
                        editor.Field("EmpNumber").SetValue(e.Values["FirstName"]);

But I would like for it to combine the location number with the first name. So it would be 257Joe I am hoping I could do

editor.PreEdit += (sender, e) => 
                        editor.Field("Name").SetValue(e.Values["LocationNumber"]+["FirstName"]);

or something like that.

thank you

Almost exactly that - you just need to use e.Values again for ["FirstName"]:

e.Values["LocationNumber"]+e.Values["FirstName"]

Assuming FirstName is in the submitted data of course.

I was getting the error "Operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type object and object." Then I changed the code to

editor.PreEdit += (sender, e) => editor.Field("EmpNumber")SetValue(e.Values["LocationNumber"].ToString()+e.Values["FirstName"]ToString());

Now it works perfectly. Thanks Allan for pointing me in the right direction.

Ah yes - because the submitted data can be more or less anything, it is of the generic object type. Adding a casting method such as ToString() will do the job nicely.
