[Solved] GridDropDownColumn

[mww]

I have a grid with a GridDropDownColumn.  How can I get access to the contents of the dropdown when inserting/updating ?

Ive found an example for textbox but cant find anything for DropDown.  Heres the code im using

protected void RadGridSecondaryCategories_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            //Get the GridEditFormInsertItem of the RadGrid
            //GridEditFormInsertItem insertedItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;

            Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataInsertItem insertedItem = (Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataInsertItem)e.Item;

            string EmployeeID = (insertedItem["EmployeeID"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;

            string LastName = (insertedItem["LastName"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text; // need this to be a GriDDropDown  not a textbox

 How do I get the value in the drop down ?

Hi Mark,

You can try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

  protected void RadGrid1_InsertCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridDataInsertItem insertitem = (GridDataInsertItem)e.Item;
        RadComboBox ddl=(RadComboBox)insertitem["DropCol"].Controls[0];
        string strSelectedText = ddl.SelectedItem.Text.ToString();
    }

Thanks
Shinu.
