I have a normal RadGrid and in that grid columns like this:

Then in the code-behind:

Everything works fine as is. In non-edit view, the correct value is displayed and in edit view, the combobox is displayed, populated with values.

But I also want to set the selected item in the databound dropdown to the text value set in MyColumnLabel.

I must be having an off-day because I simply cannot work out how to do it :(

Can anyone enlighten me? I've been through any number of examples on the Telerik site with no luck.

Regards,
Richard

Code for ItemCommand is like below:
protected void RadGrid2_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.CommandName == "ExpandCollapse") || (e.CommandName == "InitInsert"))
{
UpdatePanel2.Update();
}
}

Can anybody help?
