.PhoneTypeBindingSource.DataSource = CMXApplication.LookUps.PhoneTypes

CType(Me.PhonesRadGridView.Columns("PhoneType"), Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewLookUpColumn).DataSource = Me.PhoneTypeBindingSource.DataSource

Because of the nature of the custom objects I intercept the Cellformatting event, to display the name of the phone type

Private Sub PhonesRadGridView_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles PhonesRadGridView.CellFormatting

If e.CellElement.RowIndex >= 0 Then

If e.CellElement.ColumnIndex = 1 Then

e.CellElement.Text =

CType(PhonesBindingSource(e.CellElement.RowIndex), FTS.CMX.CMXModel.Phone).PhoneType.Name

End If

End If

End Sub

so far so good. When I edit the grid row I select a different phonetype in my GridViewLookUpColumn (PhoneType). I need to assign  a phonetype from the  GridViewLookUpColumn  to my phone. What I think I need to do is this, capture the CellEndEdit value from the GridViewLookUpColumn and assign a phonetype to my phone.

When I query the GridViewLookUpColumn  it is not the selected value from my grid

Can you give me pointers on how to achieve the desired results?

Private Sub PhonesRadGridView_CellEndEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs) Handles PhonesRadGridView.CellEndEdit

Dim Phone As FTS.CMX.CMXModel.Phone = ContactProxy.Contact.Phones(PhonesRadGridView.CurrentRow.ViewInfo.CurrentIndex)

If PhonesRadGridView.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value = String.Empty Then

If Phone.EntityState = EntityState.Added Then

PhonesRadGridView.Rows.RemoveAt(ContactProxy.Contact.Phones.Count - 1)

ContactProxy.Contact.Phones.Remove(Phone)

End If

Else

If e.ColumnIndex = 1 Then 'assign the phone type to the phone

'CType(Me.PhonesRadGridView.CurrentCell, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridComboBoxCellElement).Text

Debug.WriteLine(

CType(Me.PhonesRadGridView.CurrentCell, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridComboBoxCellElement).Value)

End If

End If

End Sub

Thanks P
