the following thread started this discussion http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/getting-value-from-griddropdowncolumn-when-not-in-edit-mode.aspx about retrieving ListValueField of a cell when in display mode. At the time, it was not possible to do so directly. Have you made any changes in this regard enabling such retrieval? If not, i would like to propose this as a feature enhancement.
from my point of view - and no offense - it is a complete crock to make another trip to the database when the data has already once been retrieved.
to be more specific, i have the GridDataItem form of the data - i even have full access to the grid - and would like to retrieve the ListValueField - not the ListTextField value which is quite simple to access.
