Hi

I am using a GridDropDownColumn with AllowAutomaticLoadOnDemand enabled in a radgrid that is using the

NeedDataSource event to bind to my datset. As soon as try to use the dropdown I receive the following error

"There is no assigned datasource. Unable to complete the callback request"

Here is my GridDropDownColumn

Thank you

protected void gvPOW_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == "Edit")

{

GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

gvPOW.Rebind();

RadComboBox ddlCity = item.FindControl("gvddlPOWCity") as RadComboBox;

RadComboBox ddlProject = item.FindControl("gvddlPOWProject") as RadComboBox;

string city = ddlCity.SelectedValue;

cmd = new SqlCommand("select ProjectName, ProjectId from Projects where CityId =" + ddlCity.SelectedValue, con);

SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);

DataSet ds = new DataSet("DS");

da.Fill(ds,

"Branches");

ddlProject.DataSourceID =

null;

ddlProject.Items.Clear();

ddlProject.Items.Add(

new RadComboBoxItem("Select Project", "0"));

ddlProject.DataSource = ds;

ddlProject.DataBind();

}

}

I want to bind Project details based on City which was selected in Edit mode.Please help me...

Thanks in advance...

I am also filtering on other columns where the user types something and then tabs away from the text box and it does an auto postback to filter the data but it returns no data at all. If I filter by my custom column then it is fine. If I filter by my custom column and then filter by any other column it also works as expected. 

When I filter by any other column the first time (this is when no data is returned when I know it should be) I looked at the filter expression and basically it is something like this (if (column1Filter == "criteriaIEntered" && customFilterColumn = "-1"). I believe the second bit customFilterColumn = "-1" causes the problem even though I am not filtering by this.
