GridDropDownColumn combine two display member?

[Josh]

How can I combine two display members in a GridDropDownColumn. For example my table has a column Item_Id. The item table has a Make and Model field. I want my combobox to display Make-Model.

Hello Josh,

The functionality you describe is not available out of the box. However, you can use custom logic to implement it.

You can create a temporarily collection (e.g. DataTable) where you can store the Make and Model in a single field. Then you can set the dropdown control to display the information from that field.

In order to implement this it may be easier to use GridTemplateColumn and place a RadComboBox in the EditItemTemplate.

I appreciate you getting back to me. The approach I went with is I created a view to accomplish this. Seems to work good.

Thanks,
Josh
