Binding enum to column

[John]

I've found the example at this forum of binding enum to radgridview, but it doesn't work how I need, and I need it on today, so i need a help.

Below are classes of this example, and only difference which I need is the possibility to change value of positionof players. Now I can only change position by typing new value, but I need to select it from comboboxcolumn.


How can I do it?

Hi John,

I would definitely recommend you to upgrade to our current official release Q2 2011. Thus you will benefit from all additional feature and bug fixed we have introduced.
Otherwise, you will have to create a new source filled with the values equal to those in the enum and set it as ItemsSource for the GridViewComboBoxColumn.
 

All the best,
Maya
