[Solved] Dynamic data bind for a drop down list

[Viswanathan]

Hi,

How to dynamically bind data to a drop down list in a RAD grid control.

i tried using the following lines, but the event is not firing! 

protected void grd_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.WebControls.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
ddl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(ddl_DataBinding);
}

        void ddl_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)sender;
                possibleTargetOutcome = RetrieveData();

                ddl.DataSource = possibleTargetOutcome;
                ddl.DataTextField = "DisplayText";
                ddl.DataValueField = "InputValue";
                ddl.DataBind();
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                lblErrorMessage.Text = ex.Message;
            }
        }

Anyone have solution for this?

Thanks
