[Solved] Element 'Grid DropDownColumn' is not a known element

[Betty]

I am building a Grid using the Q1 2010 RadGrid control, and
using Template Form Update as my guide.

I have a Template edit form, and I'm having an issue when
trying to add a Telerik Grid Dropdown Column.
I am getting an error saying that the Grid Dropdown
Column is not a known element.

Below is a copy of my edit form template:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" CssClass="RadGrid" GridLines="None"
    AllowPaging="True" PageSize="20" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"

    AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" OnItemDeleted="RadGrid1_ItemDeleted"
    OnItemInserted="RadGrid1_ItemInserted" OnItemUpdated="RadGrid1_ItemUpdated" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand"
    >
 <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="MCCLoadId">
    <Columns>
        <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

            <HeaderStyle ForeColor="Silver" ></HeaderStyle>
            <ItemStyle ForeColor="Gray" />
        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="MCC_Cmpt" HeaderText="MCC Compartment" UniqueName="MCC_Cmpt">
        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Hello betty,

Incorrect code

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="DeviceType_DeviceTypeId" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"
                                        HeaderText="DeviceTypes" ListTextField="DeviceTypeName" ListValueField="DeviceTypeId"
                                        UniqueName="DeviceTypeId" ColumnEditorID="GridDropDownColumnEditor1">
                                    </telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

Correct code

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlTOC" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("TitleOfCourtesy") %>'
                                                DataSource='<%# (new string[] { "Dr.", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms." }) %>' TabIndex="7"
                                                AppendDataBoundItems="True">
                                                <asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="Select" Value=""></asp:ListItem>
                                            </asp:DropDownList>

OR

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlTOC" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("TitleOfCourtesy") %>'
                                                DataSource='<%# (new string[] { "Dr.", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms." }) %>' TabIndex="7"
                                                AppendDataBoundItems="True">
                                                <asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="Select" Value=""></asp:ListItem>
                                            </telerik:RadComboBox>

Note : you can able to use "telerik:GridDropDownColumn" only in inside  tag <Columns>........<Columns> in Radgrid.

If I run the following example, I get the unknown element error for asp:ListItem

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlTOC" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("MCC_Ctrl_Device") %>'
             DataSource='<%# (new string[] { "Dr.", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms." }) %>' TabIndex="7"
             AppendDataBoundItems="True">
      <asp:ListItem Selected="True" Text="Select" Value=""></asp:ListItem>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

I can use the other example with no problems.

I would like to utilize the Telerik controls to keep the themes consistent between all of the other controls on the page.

Hello Betty,

You can add Items in ComboBox as shown below.
aspx:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlTOC" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CategoryID") %>' DataSource='<%# (new string[] { "Dr.", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms." }) %>' TabIndex="7" AppendDataBoundItems="True">
  <Items>
    <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Selected="true" Text="select" Value="" />
  </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Thanks,
Shinu.
