user control edit form

[amir sherafatian]

i have a RadComboBox and some TextBoxes in a UserControl that i use this UserControl as UserControlEditFrom in a Radgrid ,
when i go to edit mode from grid i need to bind the my combo box to own current value from DataBase,
in same cases about text boxes i use this code (like your example here : http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/usercontroleditform/defaultcs.aspx ) to bind text property of my text box :

<asp:TextBox Text=<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.Title" ) %> ID="TextBoxTitle" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

but about my combo box !!!!!!!!!!! what shoud i do ?

i search your example (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/usercontroleditform/defaultcs.aspx ) but you dont use any line of code to bind combo but it work when i test your sample by editing different row of grid !!!!!!!!
what you do ? and what does it work ?

it is a part of your code front of your project that i think in the bold line you should have use anything to bind combo like textboxes :

<tr>
                    <td>Birth Date:</td>
                    <td>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox11" runat="server"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.BirthDate") %>'
                         tabIndex=4>
                        </asp:textbox></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>Title Of Courtesy</td>
                    <td>
                        <asp:dropdownlist id="ddlTOC" runat="server" tabindex="7"></asp:dropdownlist></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
        <td>

Hello Amir,

You can set the DataSourceId of your dropdownlist to the Id of the DataSourceControl with which the grid is bound and then set the DataTextField and DataValueField properties of the dropdownlist to the corresponding datafield. Check out the example given below:

aspx:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlTOC" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
DataTextField="TitleOfCourtesy" DataValueField="TitleOfCourtesy" tabindex="7">
</asp:DropDownList>

Thanks
Princy.

Hi Amir,

You can set the SelectedValue property for the dropdownlist in the user control as shown below:
aspx:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlTOC" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
DataTextField="TitleOfCourtesy" DataValueField="TitleOfCourtesy"
SelectedValue='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.TitleOfCourtesy") %>' tabindex="7">
</asp:DropDownList>

Thanks
Princy.

tanks princy for your regard
you told me the first thing that i thought to do but
i have no access to the "SelectedValue" property of RadComboBox and asp DropDown in CodeFront
although i use RadComboBox,
do you have other idea ?
