[Solved] Display enum value in row?

[John]

Hi - I have an integer value that is being pulled from my db and displayed in my grid like this:

 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataType="System.Int32" UniqueName="UserAccountStatus"
                        SortExpression="UserAccountStatus" HeaderText="Status" DataField="UserAccountStatus"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>

But that value is actually the numeric value of an enum. So - rather than displaying the numeric value of the enum, I need to display the text value of the enum.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

Hello,

You can get the text value for the corresponding numeric value inside ItemDataBound Event.
Check the following sample code.

C#:

public enum UserAccountStatus
{
    Active = 1,
    InActive,
    Blocked
}
protected void RadGrid3_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{

    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        DataRowView row = (DataRowView)item.DataItem;
        int enumVal = Convert.ToInt32(row["UserAccountStatus"].ToString());
        UserAccountStatus enumString = (UserAccountStatus)enumVal;
        item["UserAccountStatus"].Text = enumString.ToString();
    }
}
