[Solved] GridBoundColumn from enum

[khetto]

Is there a simple way to bind a GridDropDownColumn to an enum?

By the way, the "Automatic operations"sample does not work for me when In-line edit is selected. I try to change any dropdown and then update the row and I get redirected to an un-existing page.

Hello khetto,

I just checked our example and everything works fine:

You can use the same approach with ObjectDataSource where you can return desired data source for the GridDropDownColumn.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The failing demo I ment its at: http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/Grid/Examples/DataEditing/AllEditableColumns/DefaultCS.aspx

Is this an old version?

About the DataSource object. Do you have a sample implementation at hand?

Got it working.

In case someone needs it:

<

asp:ObjectDataSource ID="dsSomeEnum" runat="server" 
    SelectMethod="GetSomeEnum"
    TypeName="EnumsSources">
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

public

enum SomeEnum
{
    Enum1,
    Enum2
}

public

static class EnumsSources
{
    public static ListItemCollection GetSomeEnum()
    {
        ListItemCollection rtnItems = new ListItemCollection();
        foreach (string item in Enum.GetNames(typeof(SomeEnum)))
        {
            int value = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(SomeEnum), item);
            ListItem listItem = new ListItem(item, value.ToString());
            rtnItems.Add(listItem);
        }
        return rtnItems;
    }
}

Any simplier?
