How to bind enum property to dropdownlist in grid for inline editing?

[Jay]

I have a grid and I'm doing inline editing. I have a property in my model that is an enum. Using the Display() attribute on the enum works great for rendering the grid. But when I go to edit a row I have not been able to get a dropdownlist with the enum values to display.

I have a partial view in the EditorTemplates for the enum.

@model Dashboard.Web.Models.Schedule

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m.GotoType)       
        .DataTextField("Text")
        .DataValueField("Value")
        .BindTo(Html.GetEnumSelectList(typeof(Dashboard.Web.Models.GotoType)))
        .Deferred()
    )

My model  I have the UIHint attrbute on the enum property.

public class Schedule
{
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }
     
        [Display(Name = "Go To ")]
        [UIHint("GotoTypeEditor")]
        public GotoType GotoType { get; set; }

        [ForeignKey("Location"), Display(Name = "Location")]
        public int LocationId { get; set; }
        public Location Location {get; set;}
}

What do I need to do in the Kendo.Grid? I tried adding the EditorTemplateName this did not work. Do i need to do something in the datasource.Model definition?

I have the dropdownlist displaying in the grid now. I changed the bindTo to Html.GetEnumSelectList<Dashboard.Web.Models.GotoType>(). But the data binding to my model property is not working.

My problem was in the editor template for the Enum. Here is the correct code. 

@model Enum

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
        .DataTextField("Text")
        .DataValueField("Value")
        .BindTo(Html.GetEnumSelectList<Dashboard.Web.Models.GotoType>())        
    )
