    I have a RadGrid with a GridTemplateColumn like so:

    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Account" UniqueName="Account">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <div>
                <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlAccountLookup" Visible="false" runat="server">
                </asp:DropDownList>
                <asp:Label ID="grdAccountName" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "AccountName") %>' /><br />
                <asp:Label ID="grdPhone" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Phone") %>' /><br />
                <asp:Label ID="grdEmail" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Email") %>' />
            </div>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <HeaderStyle CssClass="BigNormalBold" HorizontalAlign="Left" VerticalAlign="Bottom" />
        <ItemStyle CssClass="Normal" />
    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>


    I need to find the ddlAccountLookup and make it Visible on PostBack, how would I go about doing this?

    Thanks!

    Hello Justin,

    You can try the following code snippet in ItemDataBound event to access the DropDownList.
    C#:
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
     if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
     {
       GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
       DropDownList ddl=(DropDownList)item.FindControl("ddlAccountLookup");
       ddl.Visible = true;
     }
    }

    Thanks,
    Shinu.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it never goes into the If statement. When I set a Breakpoint it says the if is false because Item is a GridItemHeader. Any idea?

    Thanks!

                }
                if (e.Item is GridFilteringItem)
                {
                    ((e.Item as GridFilteringItem)["CTest"].FindControl("fTextBox") as TextBox).Text = "filteritem";
                }
                if (e.Item is GridFooterItem)
