Non-breaking Space in RadGrid

[Mark]

Hi,

We have a grid with a GridDropDownColumn, the values for this column are shown as non-breakign space ' ' when the data is an empty string. This is our column in the grid:

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn FilterControlWidth="250px" DataField="country_id" DataSourceID="sds_countries"
    HeaderText="Country" ListTextField="name" ListValueField="country_id" UniqueName="country_id">
    <FilterTemplate>
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddl_countries" DataSourceID="sds_countries" DataTextField="name"
            DataValueField="country_id" AppendDataBoundItems="true" SelectedValue='<%#  ((GridItem)Container).OwnerTableView.GetColumn("country_id").CurrentFilterValue %>'
            runat="server" OnClientSelectedIndexChanged="CountryChanged">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="All" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
        <telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="rsb_countries" runat="server">
            <script type="text/javascript">
                function CountryChanged(sender, args) {
                    var tableView = $find("<%# ((GridItem)Container).OwnerTableView.ClientID %>");
                    tableView.filter("country_id", args.get_item().get_value(), "EqualTo");
                }
            </script>
        </telerik:RadScriptBlock>
    </FilterTemplate>
    <HeaderStyle Width="180px" />
</telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

I have tried to use the following code on the on item data bound event:

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            foreach (TableCell cell in e.Item.Cells)
            {
                cell
                if (cell.Text == " ")
                    cell.Text = "";
            }
        }

   
However our edit column is being overwritten with an empty string. Any help would be appreciated.
