[Solved] RadGrid and BoundCombo using EF DataSource

[Matthew D]

All-
Are there any examples/help out there for this scenario?
I have a few tables that I am loading into some RadGrids for editing. 
A few of the columns are really lookup/reference table data.  The primary table has foreign keys over to the various reference tables.

I want to show the description(from the reference table) as a label in read-mode.  But when it goes to "Edit" mode, switch to boundCombo boxes to allow those lookup fields to be selected from the dropdowns.

Then on the "Update" submit the edited row back for updating. 

I am using an EF model for testing but also have some WCF services for the CRUD methods if I need them.

Any help would be great-
MJD

Hello Matthew,

You can take this online demo as a starting point for your custom implementation:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/automaticoperations/efdatabinding/defaultcs.aspx

and include built-in GridDropDownColumn or a template column with MS DropDownList inside its edit template to perform editing with dropdown list instead of a regular textbox.
 
Kind regards,
