Hi there, just like to ask. Is it not possible to use the databinding syntax with the RadEditor control?

When I try to do so with
<Content>
<%# Container.DataItem("Wow") %>
</Content>

It blows up with an error of 
The 'Content' property of 'telerik:RadEditor' does not allow child objects.

Any other way to perform databinding with the RadEditor control?

Hi Wei,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

We will investigate it and try to solve it in the next hotfix.

Currently, please set the Content property inline in the RadEditor declaration as it is shown below:

<telerik:radeditor Content='<%# Container.DataItem("Wow") %>' runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" SkinID="DefaultSetOfTools" EditModes="All">
</telerik:radeditor>

We do appreciate your feedback and we updated your telerik points.

All the best,
Rumen

Hi Shash,

This syntax is used in the Datagrid Edit Template  example, e.g.

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server"
Content='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Content") %>'>
</telerik:RadEditor>

and it works. Do you experience the problem in the live example?

Sorry, it does work, I was using double quotes instead of single quotes.

I'd like to suggest this information get more explicitly integrated into the formal docs.

Thanks,

Hello Matthew,

This information is available in the RadEditor's documentation -> Edit Template In Grid article

The key portion of markup to notice in the example below is the tag EditItemTemplate that contains the RadEditor.  You can bind text from the database to the editor by assigning the Content property with an Eval statement:

Content='<%# Eval("Body") %>'

Note that this is done as an attribute of the <telerik:RadEditor> tag and not within the <Content> child element. Also note that the Eval statement is surrounded in single quotes.


Kind regards,
Rumen
