Setting Selected value in dropdownlist for edititemtemplate

[Venkatesh]

Hi,
I have added a dropdown in InsertItemTemplate as below:

<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlGender" runat="server">
 <asp:ListItem Text="Male" Value="Male"></asp:ListItem>
 <asp:ListItem Text="Female" Value="Female"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
</InsertItemTemplate>

How to add the dropdown in ItemTemplate as well as the EditItemTemplate of the RAD Grid.

How to set the selectedValue in the ItemTemplate and EditItemTemplate?

Thanks

Hi,

Try the following code to achieve your scenario.
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
  <ItemTemplate>
     <asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("Name") %>'></asp:DropDownList>
  </ItemTemplate>
  <EditItemTemplate>
    <asp:DropDownList ID="ddl2" runat="server" ></asp:DropDownList>
  </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode))
 {
   GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
   DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)item.FindControl("ddl2");
   ddl.SelectedValue = (string)DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "Name").ToString();
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
