[Solved] GridDropDownColumn databind to collection

[Mohan]

Hi,

I am using RadGrid to show the list of request. One of the columns is the Status column. The request record contains the Id  of the status
I am using the GridDropDownColumn  for the status column. I want to bind the GridDropDownColumn  datasource at runtime to a collection. I only see the DataSourceId  property and no DataSource Property. Is there a way I can bind the GridDropDownColumn 
column to a collection. All the examples shows only the binding in edit mode.

Request Records
Requestor          ReqDate         StatusId
John                   01/01/2009     1
James                02/02/2009      2


Status values
StatusId          StatusName
1                     New
2                     Closed

I want the grid to show
John           01/01/2009       New
James         02/02/2009      Closed     


I would appreciate any help inthis matter
thanks
