WebDropDown Editor in child band not initially showing TextField value
posted

Hi, I am new to using the HierarchicalDataGrid but am really liking it so far.  I've gotten everything working pretty easily by using the samples as a guide, but I'm having one issue that I don't know how to resolve.  I have two columns in both the main grid itself and in the single band that I've setup that use webdropdown editors for editing the data.  I have bound the webdropdown editor to a datasource and set the TextField and ValueField properties accordingly.

When the grid displays, the columns in the main grid are correctly displaying the TextField string and not the underlying value and I can edit them using the webdropdown with no problem.  However when I expand a row and open up the child band, the two columns are displaying the ValueField value and not the TextField value (in this case an integer).  When I double click on the cell I do get the webdropdown editor and if I select a value and leave that cell, it then displays the TextField value instead of the ValueField like it's supposed to.  So the problem just appears to be on the initial binding of the grid that it's not using the right field.  I'm sure I am just missing something, but not sure what.

I have included a screenshot of what I'm talking about as well as snippets of both the control declaration in the code-front and the code in the code-behind. 

Thanks for your help (this is an awesome control!)
