Hello,

In a radgrid I use a user control for inserts/updates.

The user control has dropdowns that have datasources that get set during the usercontrol's page_load.  

However, I need to change the datasource of these dropdowns in the user control when the radgrid is in edit mode vs insert mode.

AND

this datasource needs needs to be set BEFORE databinding takes place in the user control. 

How does your control meet this requirement?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can access and set the datasource of the dropdownlist in the ItemCreated event and  identify the edit and insert modes  accordingly.

if(e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode) // edit
{
    //
}
if(e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) // insert
{
    //
}


Thanks,
Shinu
