Populate ComboBox inside FormTemplate

[Scott Durrett]

I would like to populate the combo boxes on my edit FormTemplate on Page_Load.  Is this possible or do I have to do it on item created event?  I would like to do it once versus re-populating the control every time the user clicks "edit".

Thanks
Scott

Hello Scott,

A better approach would be accessing the RadComboBox in ItemDataBound event of grid and populate the control.

C#:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            //the item is in edit mode
            GridEditFormItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
            RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)editedItem.FindControl("RadComboBox1");
            // Populate the combo
        }
    }
