Selected item in a RadComboBox in editform

[Andy Green]

Hi

I've a RadComboBox in a Gridview Editform. It is filled from a dataclass in the code behind. When I go to edit mode, how do I set the selected value to that in the database.

Hello Andy,

 If you are using a custom EditForm with a RadComboBox in it then you can either set the selected index of the combobox as shown below:
aspx:

<FormTemplate>
      <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
      </telerik:RadComboBox>
</FormTemplate>

c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem editFormItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)editFormItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1");
            combo.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource1";
            combo.DataTextField = "ContactName";
            combo.SelectedIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
