MVC Grid doesn't show DropDownList column

[Daniel]

Hi, 

I have a Grid with a DropDownList column and another TextFields with ClientTemplate. The DropDownList shows a Spinner where I can select the ID of list, and when the field lost focus, shows a text with the text field of list.

I need that when I click on column, show me the DropDownList, not a Spinner.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.Contacts)
    .Name("Contacts")
    .ToolBar(tools => tools.Create().Text("Agregar nuevo contacto"))
    .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell).CreateAt(GridInsertRowPosition.Bottom))
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(p => p.Name).ClientTemplate("#= Name #" +
            "<input type='hidden' name='Contacts[#= indexContactsBasic(data)#].Name' value='#= Name #' />"
        );
        columns.Bound(p => p.CellPhone).ClientTemplate("#= CellPhone #" +
            "<input type='hidden' name='Contacts[#= indexContactsBasic(data)#].CellPhone' value='#= CellPhone #' />"
        );
        columns.Bound(p => p.Email).ClientTemplate("#= Email #" +
            "<input type='hidden' name='Contacts[#= indexContactsBasic(data)#].Email' value='#= Email #' />"
        );
        columns.Bound(p => p.Occupation).ClientTemplate("#= Occupation #" +
            "<input type='hidden' name='Contacts[#= indexContactsBasic(data)#].Occupation' value='#= Occupation #' />"
        );
        columns.ForeignKey(p => p.ThirdPartyId, ViewBag.EmployeeInformationId as SelectList, "Value", "Text").Width(100);
        columns.Command(command => command.Destroy()).Width(100);
    })
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Model(model =>
        {
            model.Id(p => p.Id);
        })
        .ServerOperation(false)
    )
)

Hi Daniel,

It seems that you are missing the ForeignKey column template. Can you please ensure that you have GridForeignKey.cshtml file with the following content within the Views/Shared/EditorTemplates folder:

@model object

@(
 Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
        .BindTo((SelectList)ViewData[ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName("") + "_Data"])
)
