    telerik:GridTemplateColumn

    >

     

     


    aspx.cs:

     

    protected void ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs

    e)

     

     

    {

     

     

     

    GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem

    ;

     

     

     

     

    RadComboBox Print = ((RadComboBox)dataItem["PrintLetter"].FindControl("Print"

    ));

     

     

    Print.Text =

    "1year"

    ;

     

     

    }

    Hello Chinna,


    If you need to set custom text for RadComboBox, then you will have to set the AllowCustomText property of the control to True.

    <ItemTemplate>
            <telerik:RadComboBox AllowCustomText="true" ID="Print" runat="server">
                    <Items>
