I am modifying this example to use in my project:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/templateformupdate/defaultcs.aspx

how can I preload "Title Of Courtesy" combobox from code behind at all and also
considering the fact that in my case it is a web user control ? Actually in my case user control is a grid wrapped in user control
but I did DataSource and DataBind interface for it, so it works like a regular bindable control in that respect ).

The values in my user control are different depending on EmployeeId and that is why I need to bind it based on row.

What I am looking to do is something like:
UserControl.DataSource=Business.Employees.GetContactInfoAsList(EpmployeeId)

but having trouble figuring out which event to use to get a hold of usercontrol on add new row click, also for existing records
I am trying to use RadGrid1_DataBound but item.FindControl (UserControlId) returns NULL when
I do foreach on grid items.

Thank you.

ok I got it working. So to load some bindable list control(builtin or user control) located in Form template

with values from business object in code behind when "Add New record" is clicked 

(in the telerik example  above) :









protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

{

GridEditFormItem editForm = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;

RadListBox list = editForm.FindControl("listBoxIndustries") as RadListBox;

list.DataSource = BusinessService.LoadIndustriesLookupList();

list.DataBind();

}

           RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(0)
           RadGrid1.Rebind()
        End If

End Sub

But I got error when I run it

'ddlUsergroup' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
Parameter name: value

Please help

Hi,

I'm sorry i couldn't replicate the issue,the references are same as that in the example.
to add a checkbox,you can directly drag and drop a checkbox into the form template,where you want it.
For further reference,I'm attaching my full code where i tried. You can use the same code behind from the demo.
