I have a grid that contains a field with a foreign key to a lookup table.
Table1
Id
Name
Table2Id
Table2
Id
Name
Using a normal grid row I would normally display the Table2Id using a RadComboBox like follows to display the text:
Now I want to go from a normal row to a custom row like the one in the demos:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/CustomRowLayout
Currently I am getting the text for the name by doing a round about way:
Basically I have a StackPanel that contains a TextBlock and a RadComboBox making the RadComboBox that is bound to the datasource invisible and setting the text of the TextBlock to the SelectedItem of the RadComboBox:
The problem with this route it that it takes a lot of work to hook the commands up and get the data loaded. Is there any other way to do that will be much more maintainable and easier to setup? I guess what I am looking for is the easiest way to get the foreign key data in the custom row.
On the demo page above it would be like the Title field coming from a look up table instead of text from the main data source.
Thanks,
Jason
