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.

I really wish that Telerik would remove out dated posts like this... RadEditor content CANNOT be set this way. In fact, the property doesn't exist and the link is to the plethora of AJAX tools, not to the Edit Template in the Grid directly.

Setting the content on the server side on a RadGrids ItemDataBound doesn't work either.

Setting the content declarative doesn't work either as it won't allow child objects??

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:

Edit Template In Grid help article

RadGrid Edit Template demo.

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