Hello Suresh,

Try the following code.
C#:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
 {
  GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
  RadComboBox RadComboBox1 = (RadComboBox)item["UniqueName"].Controls[0];
  ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
  list.Add("item1");
  list.Add("item2");
  RadComboBox1.DataSource=list;
  RadComboBox1.DataBind();
 }
}

Thanks shinu.That solution bring me the correct path..But I have a problem to show the selected item from the Radcombobox to the Radgrid after update command. which means DropdownColumn shows the previous value that i bind on pageload..It never shows the radcombobox selected item after edit the column..

Hi,

Try the following code to show the selected value in dropdowncolumn.
C#:
protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
  {
      GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
      DataRowView row = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
      item["UniqueName"].Text = row["DataTextField"].ToString();
   }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
