[Solved] How to set default selected value for dropdownlist in grid?

[Carl]

I have experimented with a variety of different ways, but no success yet.

I've tried handling .ClientEvents(ce => ce.OnEdit("Grid_OnEdit")).

I've tried EditorTemplates for the View like

@(Html.Telerik().DropDownList()
        .Name("EntityTypeName")
        .BindTo(new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData["EntityTypeList"],ViewData["EntityTypeDefault"]))
)

but no luck.

Is there an example of MVC 3 Razor View of Grid that has columns with dropdownlists where the default selected value can be set for the initial default values of new rows necessary for insert of new row?

Hello Carl,

 I have attached a small sample which demonstrates a possible way to preselect a default value of DropDownList component when inserting.

All the best,

Thanks. I followed the approach in the sample, and was able to get it to work.
