set DropDownColumn DataSource

[Craig Wallace]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid which I would like to use in more than one place so want to wrap it up as a usercontrol.  It has a DropDownColumn, which I would like to bind to a single instance of an EntityDataSource control which exists in the parent control where my RadGrid control instances live.

So, how can I either:
1).  Set the DropDownColumn DataSourceID to the ID of a control in the parent control, and have it work.
or
2).  Set the DropDownColumn DataSource to a datasource in the parent control.

Thanks,

Craig

Hello Craig,


You can access the DropDown control in ItemDataBound event and set the DataSource as per your requirement.
