Custom editing - binding dropdownlist to a grid cell

[Shabtai]

Hi

I'm trying to reproduce the custom editing sample with dropdownlist inside the gridcell.
For some reason, the combo is not created...

I'm attaching the project to this message.

Do I miss any script for the project?

Thank you in advance,
Shabtai

Hi,

After reviewing the provided project it seems that the issue comes from missing editor template for the "ClientEmployeeViewModel" model. The template must be included in the following location:

• Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/ClientEmployee.cshtml :

  @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
          .Name("Employee")
          .DataValueField("EmployeeID")
          .DataTextField("EmployeeName")
          .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["employees"])
  )

    

For convenience I updated the provided project with the above change and attached it to the current thread.

 Thank you!

BTW, when I'm adding  kendo.core.min.js    to the project, it gives incorrect functionality displaying 'undefined' when losing focus from the DDL, either when changing value. See attached picture.

Hi Shabtai,

In current configuration when the "kendo.web.min.js" scripts is included adding the "kendo.core.min.js" file would be invalid configuration as it's already included in the previous file. Adding duplicated scripts to the project can lead to unexpected behavior.
