Displaying the foreign key value in grid (ComboBoxEditor)

[Christopher]

I'd like to display the foreign key value rather than the ID in the combobox editors.  I found this example (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/how-to-display-the-foreign-key-value-in-grid.aspx), however with the new Q3 release this approach no longer works.

Is there an new approach for handling this now?

Thanks,
  Christopher

Hi Christopher,

I'm attaching a modified version of the example that you already have, which works fine with the Q3 assemblies.
The problem comes from a small change we made to the DataContext of the GridViewRow object. Now the DataContext property is the business object itself.

Therefore there is a small change in binding of the Content property from

Content="{Binding Data.PersonType.Name}" to Content="{Binding PersonType.Name}"

.
Also there is a change in CustomComboBoxEditor.cs file where getting the personType object becomes

PersonType personType = ((Person) this.DataContext).PersonType;

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Best wishes,
