Folks,

I am trying to retain the values in a detail grid after a griddropdowncolumn event fire (selectedindexchanged event ). I am extracting the values (current cell values) of the grid in a session variable and changing some properties for a column depending on the selected value in dropdown in the selectedindexchanged event (then I am rebinding the grid to see the effects of changed properties). Then in grid prerender event I am trying to set the cell values from the session variable, Here comes the problem, I am unable to find the detail grid items to set the cell values.

I am binding the grid on the server (using needdatasource event and detailtablebind events).

For your reference, I have included my selectedindexchanged event and grid prerender events here

I have a combo box that I populate with with searchig a db once the user has typed at least two characters. How do I make sure that the user actually selects one of the returned items and doesn't simply type a few characters and move on? I need the value in the control to be one of the returned items whether the user types it all the way out or selects an option after the LoadOnDemand. Is there a property I am not using correctly or a client side script approach?

 <telerik:RadComboBox ID="cboAccounts" runat="server" Width="300" Font-Size="11px"
                        EnableLoadOnDemand="true" AllowCustomText="false" MarkFirstMatch="true" EnableTextSelection="true"
                        EmptyMessage="Search/Select an Account" IsCaseSensitive="false" EnableItemCaching="true"
                        LoadingMessage="Fetching matching items..." ShowDropDownOnTextboxClick="false"

        If e.Text <> String.Empty And Len(e.Text) >= 2 Then
            Dim dtbl As DataTable = SearchAccounts("", e.Text, Url.GetPath(), ActiveUser.UserID)

            For Each row As DataRow In dtbl.Rows
                Dim item As New RadComboBoxItem(row("account_name").ToString() & " (" & row("account_type").ToString() & ")", row("account_no").ToString())
                cboAccounts.Items.Add(item)
            Next
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Function SearchAccounts(ByVal top As String, ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal path As String, ByVal user_id As String) As DataTable
        Dim dvw As DataTable

        With New VBDataLayer.SqlServer(conStr)
            .AddParameter("@top", top)
            .AddParameter("@prefixText", prefixText)

I have a stored procedure that accepts a parameter ("UserID") via a session variable, and returns specific data.  The data in question comprises of multiple columns containing branch number, and address.  I have tested this query, and it performs correctly, returning the necessary data.  However, when testing the page (and combo box), the combo box does not list the data, but rather has an item in it that says "System.Data.DataRowView" - and nothing else.  This has me a little lost, as I am not certain why it is doing this.  Here's the requisite code:
