I have a table in MSSQL database which can be loaded to a radgid via sqldatasource. Let's say this is devices table. I have another table where is store device types, for example: desktop,notebook,printer..etc.
Is it possible somehow, to display the conent of devices table, but when adding a new line, or modifying one existing line i would like to choose device type from a dropdownl list (populated form the other table)?
How should i start? I know there is a column type for dropdown list..but should i generate the columns from device table automatically of manually...or whatever :)
Thanks!

Hi Tamas,
If you would like to have a dropdown control in one of the RadGrid columns you could use couple of approaches.
The first one is to add a GridDropDownColumn to the RadGrid. This column will automatically render a dropdown control in edit mode. If you would like information on how to configure the column check out the Customize/Configure GridDropDownColumn article. Additionally you could test how the column works in our Column Types demo.
Another approach you could use is to add a GridTemplateColumn and place a RadDropDownList control in its EditItemTemplate. If you choose this method check out the Operations with MS DropDownList in EditItemTemplate of GridTemplateColumn article that describes how a dropdown control could be used in a GridTemplateColumn.
