Foreign key dropdown with multiple columns

[Tom]

I have a grid with a foreign key that is displaying a dropdown in in-line edit mode. That's working fine but I would like to display multiple columns from the parent object in that dropdown not just the key as it currently does. How do I configure for that?

Here's what I have

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<MBSData.Model.DocumentType>()
          .Name("documenttypegrid")
          .HtmlAttributes(new {style = "height:600px;"})
          .Columns(columns =>
          {
              columns.Bound(c => c.DocumentTypeId).Title("Type").Width("120px");
              columns.ForeignKey(p => p.DocumentCategoryId, (System.Collections.IEnumerable) ViewData["DocumentCategories"], "DocumentCategoryId", "DocumentCategoryId")
                  .Title("Category")
                  .Width("120px");
              columns.Bound(c => c.Description);
              columns.Command(command =>
              {
                  command.Edit();
                  command.Destroy();
              }).Width("190px");
          })
          .ToolBar(toolbar => { toolbar.Create(); })
          .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
          .Sortable(sortable => { sortable.SortMode(GridSortMode.MultipleColumn); })
          .Filterable()
          .Scrollable(s => s.Height("auto"))
          .Resizable(resize => resize.Columns(true))
          .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
              .Ajax()
              .ServerOperation(false)
              .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.DocumentTypeId))
              .Read(read => read.Action("DocumentType_Read", "DocumentType"))
              .Create(create => create.Action("DocumentType_Create", "DocumentType"))
              .Update(update => update.Action("DocumentType_Update", "DocumentType"))
              .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("DocumentType_Destroy", "DocumentType"))
          )
          .Events(events => events
              .Edit("onEdit")
          )
          )

 

Thanks.
