Populating GridClientSelectColumn based upon databound value

[Cyd]

I have a grid that is displaying a couple of values from an object data source along with an unbound GridClientSelectColumn:

<Columns>
   <telerik:GridBoundColumn ColumnGroupName="gridData"
                                              DataField="LocationID"
                                              ReadOnly="true"
                                              UniqueName="LocationID">
   </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   <telerik:GridBoundColumn ColumnGroupName="gridData"
                                              DataField="LocationDesc"
                                              ReadOnly="true"
                                              UniqueName="LocationDesc">
   </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   <telerik:GridBoundColumn ColumnGroupName="gridData"
                                               DataField="DefaultValue"
                                               Display="false"
                                               UniqueName="DefaultValue">
   </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   <telerik:GridClientSelectColumn ColumnGroupName="gridData" 
                                                        UniqueName="Select">
   </telerik:GridClientSelectColumn>

</Columns>

The LocationID, LocationDesc, and DefaultValues are coming from the datasource and are bound.  What I'd like to do is set that GridClientSelectColumn to selected if the DefaultValue (which is a Boolean) from the datasource is true.

I've tried several different approaches but have not found one that works yet.  Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi Cyd,

You can use the following approach to achieve the requested functionality:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
        double value = 0;
        string data = DataBinder.Eval(item.DataItem, "Freight").ToString();

        if (double.TryParse(data, out value))
        {
            if (value > 5)
            {
                item.Selected = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
