ListTextFormatString in GridDropDownColumn

[rachel]

Hello,
i'm using with RadGrid for edit by EditMode="InPlace".
i have a GridDropDownColumn and the source of the combo is:
class MyData{int Id, string Description1, string Description2}
i want that every item in the combo will display Description1 + " " + Description2
i have tried to use with the  ListTextFormatString but i dont know how set to ListTextField two columns.
is it possible? or any solution?

Hello rachel,

The ListTextFormat property is used to format the text of the DropDownControl displayed when the grid is on edit mode. If in regular mode you want to display the contanation of the Description1 + Description2 field values, I would suggest that you use GridCalculatedColumn. Find more about it below:

Hi rachel,

In this case you can use GridTemplateColumn with RadComboBox in its EditItemTemplate. Then define the RadComboBox ItemTemplate as desired.

Refer to this demo for more information:
