Hi Carlos,

I guess you are using a RadComboBox in the EditItemTemplate of a RadGrid. Please try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="Country" DataValueField="Country">
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem data = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)data.FindControl("RadComboBox1");//Access Template column in edit mode
        combo.SelectedValue = DataBinder.Eval(data.DataItem, "Country").ToString(); // to set the value
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy
