[Solved] DropDownList in ClientTemplate

[Rafael]

I use Ajax binding and want to use drop down list in the column in Display mode
From the docs I got that display template doesn't work when Ajax binding.
In below code ViewData["RateMode"] contains pair value/text, but I can't get Text in the grid's column
Who could tell me what I missed???

 .ClientTemplate

                            (

                                "<%#= Html.Telerik().ComboBox().Name(\"RateModeComboBox\").BindTo(ViewData[\"RateMode\"] as SelectList) #> "

                            );

Is there some simple code how to implement drop down list for Ajax binding in display mode?  

In Edit mode I use edit template and it works fine

Have you figured this out or Telerik could you provide an example?

[Rafael]

here is how I resolve the point

columns.Bound(p => p.RateMode).Visible(true).Title("Rate").Width(80)

                            .ClientTemplate

                            (

                                "<select id='RateModeDDL'  class='t-widget ' style='Width: 80px; color: 'black' > " +

                                "<option value = " + "<#=RateMode#>" + ">" + "<#=RateModeName#>" + "</option>" + 

                                "</select>"  

                            );

I cannot understand why it is working for me !!!

When you use Ajax binding, you have normally to use client templates.

In DisplayMode, I had to use a template and that's normal.
However, I was surprised to have my nice dropdown list displayed when I pass to inline Edit mode !!!

All what I did is having a UIHint that displays an edit template I created for my dropdown  type.

I still did not investigate why it is working.
How the client knows about something that normally exist only on the server

Unless the information is kept in the Edit form at the first download.

can you show you client template for display mode in Ajax binding?
According to docs there is no way to use template in display mode for ajax binding
