Hello,
I'm populating a RadGrid off an Oracle table. The RadGrid will contain information regarding requests entered by users. The columns of the RadGrid will be: Time, First Name, Last Name and System(s) Requested. The first three columns are GridBoundColumns and I am having no trouble with getting them to show the correct data; however, I want the System(s) Requested column to be a GridTemplateColumn with a RadComboBox that shows all of the systems requested by that person, at that time.
So basically, instead of the following:
Time First Name Last Name System(s) Requested
1:00 PM John Smith System1
1:00 PM John Smith System2
1:00 PM John Smith System3
I want to see 1 row for John Smith at 1:00 PM, and I want a RadComboBox in the System(s) Requested column that has 3 values in the dropdown (like below). I'm having some difficulties doing this because I don't know what event I would need to use to pass the value of the First Name column to the SQL DataSource so that when the RadGrid loads the RadComboBox displays all requests for that person.
Time First Name Last Name System(s) Requested
1:00 PM John Smith System1
System2 <-- will appear when dropdown is clicked.
System3 <-- will appear when dropdown is clicked.
Any assistance on how to achieve this functionality would be great!
Thanks!
Casey

Hi Casey,
The proper event for this purpose would be the ItemDataBound server event of RadGrid. At this stage the items in the grid are bound to data as explained in this article.
Therefore, you can take the implementation from here as basis (replacing the regular MS DropDownList with RadComboBox) and modify/expand it to fit in your custom schema.
