[Solved] RadGrid GridDropdownColumn item not refreshing on InitInsert

[Jaimeet]

I'm using a RadGrid GridDropDownColumn which is connected to a SqlDataSource:

 

 

 

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="Status_ID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource_WTGTasksStatus"

HeaderText="Status" ListTextField="Status_Text" ListValueField="Status_ID" UniqueName="Status_ID"

ColumnEditorID="StatusDropdownEditor">

 

 

Here is my Column Editor:

<telerik:GridDropDownListColumnEditor ID="StatusDropdownEditor" DropDownStyle-Width="75px" runat="server" />

This is my datasource:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource_WTGTasksStatus" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ParkAnalyticsConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [Status_ID], [Status_Text] FROM [WTGTasksStatus]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

When I click on 'Add a Record' button, the dropdown does not populate with the records from the datasource, but if I click on the Refresh button while it is in Insert mode (showing textboxes and the empty dropdown), then the dropdown populates.

I've wasted a lot of time trying to make this work, so that the dropdown populates when the user clicks on the 'Add a Record' button, but I've not succeeded.

Can you please help me out with this?

I would really appreciate it.

Hello Jaimeet,

I have tried to reproduce the described issue with the latest controls version (2010.2.929) but without success. Would you mind verifying the exact version of RadControls that you are using in your project?

For your reference I have also attached a small sample that works as expected on my side.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

The version that I'm using is 2009.2.616.20.
Is that the problem?

Hello Jaimeet,

Although I doubt that the version you have specified has ever been released, I would suggest that you give a try the project from my previous post. On my side the project works as expected. Let me know about the results you get.
