I want to use the GridDropDownColumn in the edit form of a grid in a way that it gets its values from a table with two columns (product_id, product_name) but the user sees only the product name.
The insert or update command should enter to another table I use only the product_id values.
Thank you very much!

I tried to use it using this link : http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdcolumntypes.html

but I get the following error :

DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name 'product_id'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Here is the code I am using :

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn HeaderText="product_name" HeaderButtonType="TextButton" 
     UniqueName="DropDownListColumn" 
     ListTextField="product_name" 
     ListValueField="product_id" 
     DataSourceID="SqlDataSource10" 
     DataField="product_id" 
     DropDownControlType="RadComboBox" 
     AllowSorting="true">  
</telerik:GridDropDownColumn>
