Adding items into GridViewComboBox Column

[Empanada]

Hi Guys,
I have a GridViewTexboxColumn that displays Gender ( either M or F ) and I want to change it into GridViewComboBox that has 2 items, Male and Female
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

First, you need to handle the DataBindingComplete event

void radGridView_DataBindingComplete(object sender, GridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
    var grid = sender as RadGridView;
    if (grid == null || !grid.Columns.Contains("Gender"))
    {
        return;
    }

    grid.Columns.Remove("Gender");

    var genderColumn = new GridViewComboBoxColumn("Gender")
                           {
                               DataSource = new List<GenderHelper> { new GenderHelper("Male", "M"), new GenderHelper("Female", "F") },
                               DisplayMember = "Display",
                               ValueMember = "Value"
                           };
    grid.Columns.Add(genderColumn);
}

public class GenderHelper
{
    public string Display { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }

    public GenderHelper(string display, string value)
    {
        Display = display;
        Value = value;
    }
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
