How can i make the "DurationType" column in my code to a dropdown menu?

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

                DataTable table = GetTable();
                Session.Add("GridData", table);

I modified the code and added the section to create a template with a drop down and added the dropdown to DurationType column. Now when i load the page i see the dropdown, but i can't figure out how to get the selected value from here and if i update the code, i want to make sure when the dropdown loads, it loads with the right item selected. Also how can i make the actual dropdown only load in the insert or edit template, and when it displays the actual grid just to show it as text?

Hi Brad,

Please try the following code snippet.

Princy,

Thank you very much for your response, i just tried to implement that code into my code but as soon as i click edit on the grid, i get the following error:

{"Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormItem'."}

and its for this line of code:

 
public class MyEditTemplate : IBindableTemplate
    {
        public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
        {
            GridEditFormItem item = ((GridEditFormItem)(container.NamingContainer)); // This is the line causing that error
            DropDownList drop = new DropDownList();
            drop.ID = "dropdownlist1";
            container.Controls.Add(drop);
        }
        public System.Collections.Specialized.IOrderedDictionary ExtractValues(System.Web.UI.Control container)
        {
            OrderedDictionary od = new OrderedDictionary();
            od.Add("OrderID", ((DropDownList)(((GridEditFormItem)(container)).FindControl("dropdownlist1"))).DataValueField);
            return od;
        }
    }

I have modified the code for the dropdown box, i see the dropdown box when i click edit, but when i choose a dropdown item like weeks, and click update, the grid just shows me "DurationType" in the text instead of "weeks".  Can you please help me fix this? I'm really trying to get this to work.

I don't mean to be such a pain, but my boss wants to see a working model of what he is going to want our team to program, and he we are all trying to tell him that he needs to purchase telerik. But until he see's this working and see's how good the support is, he doesn't want to purchase anything. He said that if we can have a working model up and running by monday morning, he will let us purchase telerik. Please help, we really want to be able to purchase your products.

Hi Brad,

I have modified the code,please try the below code snippet.ExtractValuesFromItem doesn't work with TemplateColumns,that's why the values weren't updated.

C#:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Session["GridData"] == null)
        {
            DataTable table = GetTable();
            Session.Add("GridData", table);

        }

            container.Controls.Add(lControl);
        }
  
        public void lControl_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Label l = (Label)sender;
            GridDataItem container = (GridDataItem)l.NamingContainer;
            l.Text = ((DataRowView)container.DataItem)[colname].ToString() + "<br />";
        }
    }

I was just testing everything and noticed something, that when i click edit and go into the edit form, the actually value that should be selected isn't, its always set to the first option, its doesn't look to see what the actual value is and makes the selected index that value. Can you please assist with this?

Hi Brad,

Please add the following code to your ItemDataBound event to get the selected value.

C#:
protected void grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
       {
        GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)editItem.FindControl("dropdownlist1");
        ddl.DataSource = (DataTable)GetTableForDropDown();
        ddl.DataTextField = "DurationType";
        ddl.DataValueField = "DurationType";         
        ddl.SelectedIndex = editItem.ItemIndex;
        ddl.SelectedValue = DataBinder.Eval(editItem.DataItem, "DurationType").ToString(); // To get the selected value          
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy

Thank you for your response, but it does the same thing. When i click edit, instead of the dropdown menu starting with the "selected" value it just starts at the beginning.

Yes, it worked, thank you very much for your help.

I had GridFormDataItem instead of GridEditableItem, as soon as i switched it, everything started working.

I am trying to implement something similar but the values and the display field are different in my case. 

I have ddl.DataTextField = "DurationType"; -- String value
            ddl.DataValueField = "DurationTypeKey"; -- an int value

 

I want to display the string value in the grid and while editing but also store the key value in the datatable bound to the grid.

Hello Rich,

You can check the various options to achieve this requirement listed here:
https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-have-dropdownlist-and-textbox-inside-a-radgrid#A9aPQyI5vE-ENWi8clmy6Q

If you choose to go with a Template column and your grid is being created programmatically, you can check this section:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/defining-structure/creating-a-radgrid-programmatically#creating-template-columns-programmatically

An important point here is that the entire grid should be created at Page_Init.

I hope this will prove helpful.

Regards,
Eyup
