It seems that I can't bind GridDropDownColumn to any datasources in a RadGrid.  Is there anyway where I can bind it to the datasource through GridDropDownColumn?  as you can see, StateColumn.Datasource does not exist.

            GridDropDownColumn StateColumn = new GridDropDownColumn();  
        
            StateColumn.ListTextField = "Text";  
        
            StateColumn.ListValueField = "Value";  
        
            StateColumn.DataField = "StateOrRegion";  
        
            StateColumn.HeaderText = "State"; 
        
            //XmlDataSource States = new XmlDataSource();
            
//States.DataFile = "~Content/States.xml";
            
//States.ID = "StateDatasource";

Hello Peter,

You can set the DataSourceID of the GridDropDownColumn to the ID of the DataSource which will bind tht DropDown to the required DataSource.
cs:

    
              GridDropDownColumn StateColumn = new GridDropDownColumn(); 
        
              RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(StateColumn); 
        
              StateColumn.DataSourceID="StateDatasource"; 
        
              StateColumn.ListTextField = "Text"; 
        
              StateColumn.ListValueField = "Value"; 
        
              StateColumn.DataField = "StateOrRegion"; 
        
              StateColumn.HeaderText = "State";

Thanks
