Dropdown value inside KendoGrid

[Victor]

I have a Kendo grid which need a dropdown in some fields, i have used editor template for that (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/editor-templates), everything is working fine, but when i select a value the grid shows the id of the dropdown element insted of its text value.

This is my partial view of the template

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
        .Name("ClasificacionId")
        .DataValueField("Value")
        .DataTextField("Text")
        .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.ClasificacionId)
)

 

This is how i'm passing the list value to the view

 ViewBag.ClasificacionId = new SelectList(db.ClasificacionMercancia, "ClasificacionId", "Descripcion");

 

and this is how the row its defined in the kendo grid with razor sintax

.Columns(columns =>
                                       {                                          
                                           columns.Bound(o => o.ClasificacionId).Width(120).ClientTemplate("#= ClasificacionId #<input type='hidden' name='Fracion[#= index(data) #].ClasificacionId' value='#= ClasificacionId #'/>");

i need that Client template to save all editable kendo grid values to a List in my model, but i want to show the text value of the dropdown to the user insted of the id value.

Hello Victor,

Is the text value part of the current model or is only the id value part of it? If only the id is part of the Grid model, you could use the approach demonstrated in the following foreign key column demo, in which a collection is passed, that could map each id value to the corresponding text value. Another possibility is to follow this custom editor demo, in which the whole object (in this case Category) is part of the Grid model.

I've already tried with this, actually this is the example i checked to do the dropdown inside the kendo grid, but i can access to a Text or Description property as the example (columns.Bound(p => p.Category).ClientTemplate("#=Category.CategoryName#").Width(160);)

cause it show 'undefined'

Hello Victor,

Are there any JavaScript errors in the browsers developer tools console, that could hint what is the problem? If the problem is still persisting, please send us small isolated runnable example that demonstrates it, so we could take a look at it locally.
