populating dropdownlist with a default value in dynamically created ItemTemplate

[taeho]

Hi,

There is a section called "Creating ItemTemplate/EditItemTemplate of GridTemplateColumn programmatically" in http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/grid/grdprogrammaticcreation.html

What I did was to add the following code inside InstantiateIn function
myDropDownList = new DropDownList();
            myDropDownList.DataSource = myDataSource;
            myDropDownList.DataTextField = "resultLegend";
            myDropDownList.DataValueField = "resultOption";
            myDropDownList.DataBind();
            myDropDownList.Items.FindByValue("C+").Selected = true;

I assigned myDataSource and when I checked myDropDownList.Items, the dropdown list has lists I expected.
But the dropdownlist displays options but the default option is not selected.

Appreciate your help in advance,

Toby

Toby, have you tried to set the selected item/index in the dropdown list hooking the ItemDataBound event of the grid and finding the control in the template column cell? For this purpose you have to set id for the dropdown explicitly when creating it in the InstantiateIn method.
