[Solved] Grid Editing - DropdownList

[Bob]

I am trying to provide an editable grid. When inserting a new item or editing an item, I want the user to select one of the string items in the grid from a dropdownlist. Is this possible? Can you show me how to do it?

Thanks,

Bob

OK, I have created an editor template for my dropdownlist, and it works.

Now, my problem is that the field that has the dropdown box also needs a textbox to be concatenated with the contents of the dropdown box. If I add a textbox to the editor template for the dropdown box, it displays correctly, but I don't seem to be able to get its value:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<string>" %>
<%= Html.DropDownList("", new SelectList(new [] {"HB", "SB", "WAC", "OTHER"}, Model)) %>
<%: Html.TextBox("bwacnum") %>

Does anyone have any ideas about how I might resolve this?

I resolved this problem by splitting the field into 2 fields in the database - one for the dropdown and one for the textbox.
