This is a basic design question on using radgrid with normalize table structures from sql server. This is a basic enough question it seems that I should have already solved the problem, but I seem to be having trouble coming up with the answer.
I have a table that has fields that are smallint type that contain Key values from a lookup table.
When in edit or insert mode I use a radcombobox to display the text from the lookup and with the valueField being the lookupID
When in view mode, I don't want to display the smallint values as they are meaningless to to the user. I have gotten around my problem by displaying the radcombo box disabled to get the display values I want but is not visually appealing.
How have others solved this problem using normalized tables as the datasource.
