ComboBox Column from DataTable

[Orit]

Hi
 I want to bind values to my 

GridViewComboBoxColumn

from a DataTable
and I "fly"

this is my code

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn
                                    DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=UnitName}"
                                    DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                                    SelectedValueMemberPath="ID"
                                    HeaderText="שם היחידה"
                                    UniqueName="UnitName" Width="120" />

            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("UnitName",typeof(int));
dt.Rows.Add(1);
dt.Rows.Add(2);
((GridViewComboBoxColumn)this.gvLoadingCustomers.Columns["UnitName"]).ItemsSource = GetUnits();
gvLoadingCustomers.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView;

private DataView GetUnits()
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
            dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
            dt.Rows.Add(1,"חטיבה בנקאית");
            dt.Rows.Add(2,"חטיבה מסחרית");
            dt.Rows.Add(3,"חטיבה עסקית");
            dt.Rows.Add(4,"GPB");
            dt.Rows.Add(5,"מת''מ");
            return dt.DefaultView;
        }

when I bind the data to the Combo from a 

System.Collections.

IEnumerable

 

it works, but when I use a dataTable it fail...

Thanks

Hello Orit,

Currently, the GridViewComboBoxColumn cannot pull data correctly from a DataTable. I have logged this issue and our developers will try to implement this feature in time for tomorrow's internal build. Until this feature is available, the only workaround is to use a collection of business objects as the combo's ItemsSource.

Please, excuse us for the inconvenience.

Best wishes,

Hello Orit,

By the way, I have noticed that the column name you specify is "Id" and then you specify a SelectedValueMemberPath as "ID".

Can you try with the same string at both places and see whether it will work as expected?

All the best,

Hello Orit,

I have just talked to our developers and they assured me that the DataTable issue will be resolved for the upcoming 2009 Q2 release which is only a few weeks away. Please, excuse us for the inconvenience.
