Display text instead of Id

[kalyan]

I have implemented cascading drop down functionality using the following URL

https://github.com/telerik/ui-for-aspnet-mvc-examples/tree/master/grid/grid-editing-cascading-dropdownlist

Is there a way to display Text of the drop down in the grid cell instead of Id

earlier help is highly appreciated

Hello Kalyan,

That is possible as well. Bind the column to a nested property and display via a ClientTemplate the Text but bind the DropDownList to the Value.

public Customer Name { get; set; }
...
public class Customer 
    {
        public id Value { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }

    }

columns.Bound(c => c.Name).Title("Name").ClientTemplate("#=Name.Text#");
.. 
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m=>m)
      .DataValueField("Value")
      .DataTextField("Text")
      .BindTo(foodsFiltersSelectList)
)

Let me know if you have any questions

Hi Kalyan,

I have prepared a small MVC project demonstrating Cascading DropDownLists editors for two Grid columns. Please find it attached.

The same principles for cascading are followed with the cascading dropdown having a function that takes the value of the parent DropDownList:

• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/dropdownlist/cascadingdropdownlist

Each editor has a name and id that are the same as the property name of the model when using the EditorForModel syntax.

Take a look and let me know in case you have any questions or concerns that remained unanswered.
