Databind Dropdownlist

[saritha78]

Hi,
In this example, instead of the label, if I have a dropdown list, how do I databind it?
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/hierarchy/nestedviewtemplatedeclarativerelations/defaultcs.aspx

Here's my code:

<NestedViewSettings DataSourceID="odsContactDetails">
 <ParentTableRelation>
   <telerik:GridRelationFields DetailKeyField="CrmEntityId" MasterKeyField="CrmEntityId" />
  </ParentTableRelation>
 </NestedViewSettings>
<NestedViewTemplate>
  <asp:Panel ID="pnlContactInfo" runat="server">
  <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlPhones" runat="server"  DataTextField="Phone" DataValueField="Phone"/>
  <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlEmails" runat="server" DataTextField="Email" DataValueField="Email"/>
  </asp:Panel>
</NestedViewTemplate>


.....


 <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="odsContactDetails" runat="server"
  SelectMethod="GetContactInfo" TypeName="FVS.ControllerCRM.CRMDataControl">
     <SelectParameters>
        <asp:Parameter Name="crmEntityId" Type="String" />
        </SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

I have got it to work, the data is returned by the datalayer, but it is not getting bound to the dropdownlist.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Saritha,

 From your code i cannot see the DataSourceID property set to DropDownList. Try setting the property and I hope that will work.

Arg! That was it! Thanks so much.
What I dont understand is, that the NestedViewSettings has the DataSourceID specified, isnt it redundant to specify it on the DropDownList as well?
Thanks again,
