Populate RadComboBox in an EditTemplate

[Leo]

Hi -

I have a RadGrid with the following EditTemplate and I need to populate the ddlPeatBU RadComboBox:

 

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="PeatBusinessUnitName" FilterImageUrl="../images/arrow_dn.gif"

 

 

SortAscImageUrl="../images/SortAsc.gif" SortDescImageUrl="../images/SortDesc.gif"

 

 

HeaderText="PEAT Business Unit" SortExpression="PeatBusinessUnitName" UniqueName="PeatBusinessUnitName"

 

 

Visible="true" AllowFiltering="true">

 

 

<HeaderStyle CssClass="RadGridHeader" Width="19%" />

 

 

<ItemStyle Width="19%" />

 

 

<ItemTemplate>

 

 

<asp:Label Text='<%# Eval("PeatBusinessUnitName") %>' runat="server" Width="220" ID="lblPeatBUName"></asp:Label></ItemTemplate>

 

 

<EditItemTemplate>

 

 

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="ddlPeatBU" Width="99%" runat="server" >

 

 

</telerik:RadComboBox>

 

 

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PeatBURequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlPeatBU"

 

 

ErrorMessage="Peat BU Required," Display="Dynamic"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

 

 

</EditItemTemplate>

 

 

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Leo

Hi Leo,

Try the following code snippet to populate RadComboBox when RadGrid in edit mode.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
    {
        GridEditFormItem insertItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
        RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)insertItem.FindControl("ddlPeatBU");
        combo.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource1";
        combo.DataTextField = "CustomerID";
        combo.DataValueField = "CustomerID";
        combo.DataBind();
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
