           }
       }
       /*Main Grid 1st One - End*/
   }

Problem is that When i clicked to expand DetailTableView(ContractActivityItem) The Text Displayed under the column name Schedule Type(its a combo in edit mode) became empty (its datasource is dataTable) but the Text under the column Activity Group(its also a combo) display as it is(no problem)(its datasource is sqlDatasource). How can i display the text of combo binded from code behind when in grid inside grid senario

Hello Shafees,

Try the following method to populate GridDropDownColumn .

C#:

protected void radGridActivity_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
      if ("ContractActivity".Equals(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name))
        {
            if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {

                GridEditFormItem edititemForCombo = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
                GridEditManager editMan = edititemForCombo.EditManager;
                GridDropDownListColumnEditor editor = (GridDropDownListColumnEditor)(editMan.GetColumnEditor("cavtScheduleType"));
                RadComboBox radComboScheduleType = editor.ComboBoxControl;
                editor.DataSource = GetComboDataScheduleType();
                editor.DataTextField = "FirstName";
                editor.DataValueField = "EmployeeID";
                editor.DataBind();
            }
         }
    }

Also refer the following documentation for more information on this.

Hi Shafees,

Is there any other differences between the two RadComboBoxes apart from their datasource?  Could you check what would happen if you change the datasource of the second one to be identical to the first combo's datasource? Also, what is your HierarchyLoadMode? Does the the behavior of the problemmatic control change if you switch it?

Kind regards,
