[Michael Nagy]

hello ,
i use radGrid in this grid i have  GridDropDownColumn column  .
in edit mode or insert mode i bound the GridDropDownColumn with list and set text and value for item something like that :-

    void Radgrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && (e.Item as GridEditableItem).IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            GridEditManager editMan = editedItem.EditManager;

            GridDropDownColumnEditor editor = editMan.GetColumnEditor("OrganizationName") as GridDropDownColumnEditor;
            editor.DataSource = ECMADataManager.GetInstance().Retrieve<Organization>();
            editor.DataTextField = "Name";
            editor.DataValueField = "OrganizationID";
            editor.DataBind();
            if ((e.Item.DataItem as EmpEducation) != null)
                editor.SelectedValue = (e.Item.DataItem as EmpEducation).OrganizationID.ToString();
        }
        else if (e.Item is GridDataItem && !e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            Literal litrlContrl = (Literal)dataItem["OrganizationName"].Controls[0];
            litrlContrl.Text = (e.Item.DataItem as EmpEducation).Organization.Name;
        }
    }

Hello Michael,

You can use the code below to access RadComboBox in the column and add an item to it:

RadComboBox combo = ((e.Item as GridEditFormItem).EditManager.GetColumnEditor("MyColumn") as GridDropDownListColumnEditor).ComboBoxControl;
        combo.AppendDataBoundItems = true;
        combo.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem("text","value"));

Kind regards,
