Foreign Key Column Binding

[Dave Hayward]

I have an application for a foreign key column that has a slightly different list for each row in the grid. The list is actually filtered from a common list.

Is there a way to bind the SelectList data to the grid row item data rather than ViewData ?

Hello Dave,

There isn't a configuration option with which to bind the DropDownList data through the item data. If the SelectList is part of your model, you can use the dataBind client-side method in the Grid's OnEdit event to bind it to the DropDownList e.g.

function onEdit(e) {
    var drop = $(".t-dropdown input").data("tDropDownList");
    drop.dataBind(e.dataItem.SelectListData);
}
