Batch Edit: how to bind edit dropdown serverside?

[John]

I'm looking to implement a batch-edit grid, and one of the fields is going to need a dropdown as the edit control.

The demo (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-editing/batch-editing/defaultcs.aspx) uses declarative databinding.  Based on the architecture of my project, I'd prefer to bind the dropdown serverside.  However, I can't seem to figure out the server-side events needed to get at the control in the code-behind.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Hi John,

A possible solution is to access the control on PreRender event handler and bind it. Please check out the Server-side API section of the following help article which elaborates more on this matter.

You know... didn't quite understand what you meant, stumbled my way around, and ended up implementing it exactly as you said.

Thanks!

John, it would be awesome if you could post what you ended up doing as I have the same issue and am struggling my way through it.

Thanks
