populate asp dropdownlist in ultrawebgrid
posted

Hi,

 

I've put a asp:dropdownlist inside a templated column in a ultrawebgrid. I would like to populate dinamically the dropdownlist in C#. How can I do that?

 

Thanks,

PSC

     Hello pedrosacosta,

    You can use this code in InitializeLayout() event (or other needed event) in order to get the embedded control and assign needed properties to it:

    //create a variable for the templated column in the WebGrid
    TemplatedColumn templatedColumn = (TemplatedColumn) this.UltraWebGrid1.Columns.FromKey("TemplatedColumn");

    //get a cellitem reference in the cellitems collection
    CellItem cellItem = (CellItem) templatedColumn.CellItems[myRowIndex];

    //find the control
    Control cs = cellItem.FindControl("<controlID>");

    //cast the control into the correct type
    <ControlType> <name> = (<ControlType>) cs;

    <name>.DataSource = ...;

    <name>.<property> = ....;

    In this way you can access the embedded control and assign values or properties to it.
