ForeignKey view mode display

[Sid]

I'm trying to use the ForeignKey column to display a dropdown list in a grid but can't figure out how to get the "name" data to display while in view mode on the grid.  When it is in edit mode it works great and I can get the data to post back just fine.  The ID field is showing and it has the right data, now I just need to get the user name to display instead.  I've attached the screen shots for both view and edit.
Here is the code for the razor view:

@(Html.Telerik().Grid<Journey>()
    .Name("grdJourney")
    .Columns(columns =>
                 {
                     columns.Bound(j => j.journey_desc)
                         .Title("Description");
                     columns.ForeignKey(j => j.UserId, new SelectList((IEnumerable<aspUser>)ViewData["UserList"],"UserId","FullName"))
                         .Title("Originator");
                        columns.Command(commands => commands.Edit()).Width(180).Title("Edit");
                 })
    .DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(j=>j.journey_id).RouteKey("journey_id"))
    .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax()
        .Select("AjaxJourneySelect","Journey")
        .Update("AjaxJourneyUpdate","Journey"))
    .Pageable(paging => paging.PageSize(10))
    .Sortable()
      )

I tried using a DisplayTemplate but to no avail.  So close, but no cigar!

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,

Did you take a look at this thread ? it give 2 examples of using ForeignKey.

[Sid]

Everything is working except the "view" display is showing the ID and not the FULLNAME, if you look at the two attachments you'll see it.  The dropdown works perfectly in edit mode.  It has the correct name selected, if you change it, it posts back correctly.

So there is just something I'm missing in the display.  That's why I started down the displaytemplate route, but the examples here don't seem to have them.  It looks to me like I've got it right, but obviously I'm missing something.

Thanks,

It's why i tell you to look to the 2 examples in the other thread, to compare with your implementation.

The 2 sample was made by myself and was working as expected.

Edit : give us some of your controller to look in the ViewData value

Edit bis : if you use ForeignKey you should not need display/editor templates

I Just test with a new project and all work fine (version 2012.1.301.340)

 columns.ForeignKey(c => c.FKID,new SelectList(ViewBag.FKs,"Id","Text"));

 public ViewResult Index()
        {
            var Fks = new List<FK>();
            Fks.Add(new FK { Id = 1, Text ="Test" });
            Fks.Add(new FK { Id = 2, Text = "Test2" });


            ViewBag.FKs = Fks;
            return View();
        }

 public class FK
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }

Dadv,

Yes, I've written my own test as well and it works.  I'm not sure what I might be missing.  It's not that tough!  I think I'll just start from scratch and rewrite the page and see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Knew it would be something easy.

The scripts files were not updated when I updated the telerik mvc extension!!!!!

Copied them in and worked like a charm.

Kurt, Like Sid try to look at the dll/scripts version (2012.1.X.X)

[Sid]

Kurt,

Just manually copied the scripts from the "program files\telerik\{current version}\scripts\" into my project scripts directory.

HTH,

I'm loosing weeks looking for resolve the same problem.

How can I troubleshoot it?

In view mode all is working, but in edit mode, the editor template won't display. A textbox with the id is showed instead the combobox. What's wrong?

Thanks, Domenico.
