    PROJECT DESCRIPTION                                    
    Hello,

    I am using a RadGrid with a RadComboBox within a GridTemplateColumn as such:

     

    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="State" EditFormColumnIndex="2">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "State")%>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="selectState" runat="server" Skin="Web20" DataTextField="stateName" DataValueField="stateCode" />
        </EditItemTemplate>
    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

    I am Databinding using L2S like so:
    protected void RadGrid1_EditCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
     {
     
         if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
         {
             GridEditableItem edititem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
             DropDownList ddlStates = (DropDownList)edititem.FindControl("selectState");
             ddlStates.DataSource = DbContext.States;
             ddlStates.DataTextField = "stateName";
             ddlStates.DataValueField = "stateCode";
             ddlStates.DataBind();
         }
     
    }

    When I run the project, the state bound item is correctly dispayed however once i edit the record, the RadComboBox does not bind to the data source. No errors are generated. Is it possible that the RadGrid1_EditCommand routine is not firing? Is it my data binding method. DbContext.States is derived from a Class Library project attached to this project.

    Assistance would be helpful.
