Change ItemTemplate binding code behind

[Patrick]

Hello,

I would like to change the binding of the ItemTemplate of a GridTemplateColumn in code behind. I am trying to use the click event of a button outside of the grid to change the binding. On the button click, I would like change the Text value of the ItemTemplate to '<%#Eval("Choose")%>'. Please assist.

APSX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="SSA Decision" SortExpression="SSA_Decision" UniqueName="SSA_Decision">
<ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Label ID="lblSSADecision" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("SSA_Decision")%>' />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
    <telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="cboSSADecision" Skin="WebBlue" Width="105px">
    <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Yes" Value="True" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="No" Value="False" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Please Choose" Value="Choose" Selected="true" />
    </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

Generally, you can define 2 Label controls and toggle their Visible property depending on the chosen option. Alternatively, you can remove the Text property from the mark-up definition and use the ItemDataBound event handler to set the text using the labelControl.Text=DataBinder.Eval(gridDataItem.DataItem, "FieldName") approach:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-raw-field-data-and-key-values

I hope this will prove helpful.
