I reviewed this example: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/columns-rows/columns/column-types/defaultcs.aspx and cannot seem to replicate this in my application.

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="Item_Id" DataType="System.Int32" FilterControlAltText="Filter Item_Id column" HeaderText="Item" UniqueName="Item_Id" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" DataSourceID="EntityDataSourceItem" ListValueField="Id" ListTextField="Model" AllowVirtualScrolling="true" ShowMoreResultsBox="true" ItemsPerRequest="10" SortExpression="Item_Id" EmptyListItemText="Select" AllowAutomaticLoadOnDemand="true" DropDownControlType="RadComboBox" >

</telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

<asp:EntityDataSource ID="EntityDataSourceItem" runat="server" ConnectionString="name=autocalEntities" DefaultContainerName="autocalEntities" EnableDelete="True" EnableFlattening="False" EnableInsert="True" EnableUpdate="True" EntitySetName="items"></asp:EntityDataSource

>



Everything populates correctly on load but when I attempt to edit and retrieve a filtered list from the gridview i get the object reference not set to an instance of an object exception. Any idea what I am missing? 



Thanks,

Josh

Certainly,

Here is the mark up attached. I have nothing going on in the code behind. So that shouldn't be necessary. Also I attached a screen shot of exactly what I mean. This only happens when I put the grid in edit mode.

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>

Hello Josh,

Can you please try to set the same filed as "DataField" and "ListValueField" like this:

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="Item_Id" ListTextField="MakeModel" ListValueField="Item_Id" DataSourceID="EntityDataSourceMakeModel" AllowAutomaticLoadOnDemand="true" DataType="System.Int32" FilterControlAltText="Filter MakeModel column" HeaderText="Item" SortExpression="MakeModel" UniqueName="Item_Id">

</telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

and see if this makes any difference.
