Binding to a Formview Control

[Paul Corbett]

Hi

maybe this is a newbie question and has been answered in previous threads but after searching around I could not find an answer to my needs.

I have a combobox within a formview. The formview is initially in insert or edit mode. I have a lookup source binded to the combo. I want to be able to bind the value to a db field and on edit mode show the selected value reflecting what is stored in the db.

The formview is using an objectdatasource.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris Lekkas,

What about binding the SelectedValue as shown in the following example:
Combo in Grid

A way I solve this problem was to put a hidden textbox that binds to the database.  When the combobox changes tell it to update the textbox value on the client side or do it via the OnBinding event.  Works like a charm and no need for a ton of streaming files:

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBoxAccounts" runat="server" DataSourceID="EntityDataSourceCampaignsAccounts" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="ID"> <CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" /></telerik:RadComboBox>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBoxAccount" Visible="false" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
