[Solved] Grid with dropdown list

[naveen veda]

Hi,

I am using radgrid for asp.net.

in that grid i need to fill dropdown list within the item template through code behind.

my problem is the data for the dropdown list is changed for each row.

how can i fill the dropdown list with different data for each row?

pls give me the suggestion.

Hi Naveen,

Try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

  . . .
<rad:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Dropdown">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
        </asp:DropDownList>
    </ItemTemplate>
</rad:GridTemplateColumn>
<rad:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" SortExpression="EmployeeID" UniqueName="EmployeeID">
</rad:GridBoundColumn>
  . . .

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem) e.Item;
        if (item["EmployeeID"].Text == "1")  // Checking for condition - row1
        {
            DropDownList dropdown = (DropDownList)item.FindControl("DropDownList1");
            dropdown.Items.Add("Item for 11");
            dropdown.Items.Add("Item for 12");
            dropdown.Items.Add("Item for 13"); // Populate dropdown
        }
        else if (item["EmployeeID"].Text == "2") // Checking for condition
        {
            DropDownList dropdown = (DropDownList)item.FindControl("DropDownList1");
            dropdown.Items.Add("Item for 21");
            dropdown.Items.Add("Item for 22");
            dropdown.Items.Add("Item for 23"); // Populate dropdown
        }
    }
