Tying an enum to a bound column

[Rob]

I have two columns in a datagrid that currently display a number (int) based on the results from a stored procedure.  The numbers in that column, however, are actually matched up to an enum I have defined elsewhere.  What I would like to do is be able to show the text equivalent of the enum instead of the number.  So, for example, if I have an enum as:

Alpha = 1,
Beta,
Delta,
Gamma

and a column of results that look like:
1
3
2
2

the column in the datagrid should display:
Alpha
Delta
Beta
Beta

I hope I'm being concise and clear enough in my question.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Rob,

You can change this value using ItemDataBound event. Just cast e.Item.DataItem to your data item type and set desired cell Text. Here is an example:

if(e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
   DataRowView rowView = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem);
   if(rowView["MyColumn"] == MyValue)
   {
       ((GridDataItem)e.Item)[MyColumnUniqyeName].Text = "MyNewValue";
   }
}

huge thanks!  that definitely helped.  here is the modified solution that i used so that i wouldn't need to make any changes should the enum change...

	if (e.Item is Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem)
	{
	DataRowView rowView = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem);
	((Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem)e.Item)["UniqueColumnName"].Text = Convert.ToString((Enum.Here)Convert.ToInt32(rowView["UniqueColumnName"]));
	}

again, huge thanks!
