Hello Michael,

RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX does not offer Html property. You should use the Content property to get and set the content in the editor, e.g.

Content='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "JobDescription")%>'>

Please, see this article for more information: Edit Template In Grid help article and demo RadGrid Edit Template.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your feedback and idea, which I will share with the tech team supporting the forums.

I've updated the non working link to the documentation as well as included another one for a demo:

You may also want to use two way databinding by using Bind instead of Eval.
