[Mike]

Even with the Example below it does not show a REAL world way of binding the form data from codebehind with DataTables. 

This example does not tell me how to get the data

I really need your assistance on this please show me what event is fired when clicking on the "Edit" link. 

Once the link is clicked, how does it query the data to fill the from?

Hi George,

The example shows how to use automatic grid operations with DataSourceControl - you do not have to write code to do this. You can check old .NET 1.x style example if you do this manually:
http://demos1x.telerik.com/aspnet/Grid/Examples/DataEditing/TemplateFormUpdate/DefaultCS.aspx

The example is for our old "Classic" grid however the approach is the same in RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX.

Best wishes,

Thank you!

Hello George,

Can you try using the debugger to find a bit more info about the exception? I suspect that this line is throwing the error:
          RadComboBox userdata = (RadComboBox)e.Item.Cells[0].FindControl("RadComboBoxUsers"); 

You should use :

if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

if you want to find a control when the item is in edit mode.

I'm not sure also about e.Item.Cells[0]. When you use form template you can simply do e.Item.FindControlI().
