[Solved] Need Example of Binding a DropDownList in an Edit Template

[Steven]

I need an example of the following.

• A RadGrid bound via its OnNeedDataSource event. The grid should also have an Edit Template. 
• The source of data should include at least two fields, LookupId and LookupValue.  Of these two, only LookupValue should be visible when NOT editing.
• When editing or inserting, the edit template should contain a DropDownList or RadComboBox bound to a Lookup Table of IDs and Values.  Best would be if that source were an ObjectDataSource since that's what I'm using, but not sure that's required.

This seems like a fairly common scenario, but I'm having no success finding an example. The only example embedded DropDownList in the demo isn't even bound.

Hi,

Try the following code.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
   {
            GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)item.FindControl("DropDownList1");
            //populate dropdown here
   }
}

Thanks,
Shinu
