[Solved] RadGrid used to only input data

[Ryan Pope]

Hey,
I'm brand new today to telerik and am currently having trouble finding support for my specific problem.

I am making a RadGrid that contains a dropdownlist and textbox in each of their own columns. The dropdownlist is currently populating, but the problem i'm having is that I cannot specify how many rows of data I want to display. The only data needed from the database is from a stored procedure which is populated directed into the dropdownlist for each row without using edit mode.

I only want 8 rows to show up but I cannot get any data to show up unless i directly fill the RadGrid from the database.

If you have any suggestions on how to make the RadGrid show 8 rows at all times, or generate a specific number of rows if would greatly be appreciated.

This is my code here:

<

rad:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" GridLines="None" PageSize="8"

Skin="3D" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3" EnableAJAX="True">

<PagerStyle PageButtonCount="8" />

<mastertableview allowcustomsorting="True" autogeneratecolumns="False"

datasourceid="SqlDataSource3">

<rowindicatorcolumn visible="False">

<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />

</rowindicatorcolumn>

<expandcollapsecolumn resizable="False" visible="False">

<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />

</expandcollapsecolumn>

<Columns>

<rad:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Account" DataField="Account"

HeaderText="GL Account" SortExpression="Account">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server"

DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="Account" DataValueField="Account">

</asp:DropDownList>

</ItemTemplate>

</rad:GridTemplateColumn>

<rad:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Amount" DataField="Amount"

HeaderText="Amount">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:TextBox ID="txtAmount" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

</ItemTemplate>

</rad:GridTemplateColumn>

</Columns>

</mastertableview>

Hi Ryan,

RadGrid does not support unbound mode - you need to specify DataSource of DataSourceID. In your case this can be any collection with desired number of items (you can use NeedDataSource).
