Thanks for the same..It will help a lot.. Also, could you please let me know how to add dropdown editor provider via code behind to a dynamic grid? I have a grid that binds to a datasoruce based on some condition.. So columns will be different each time.. For those columns, I need to show dropdown providers.. How it can be implemented via c# code? Regards Varun

Hello,

Please find attached that I have prepared for you. The DropDownEditor for the WebDataGrid uses WebDataGrid as template for the dropdown items. When the user selectes a row in this grid the values are written into the main grid cell. If you use BatchUpdating = true then the cell will receive the proper styling that marks it as "dirty".

Please run it and let me know if you have further questions on the matter.

Regarding your other question - please see a sample code to use for adding dropdown providers from code behind:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            DropDownProvider provider = new DropDownProvider();
            provider.ID = "dropdown1";
            provider.EditorControl.DropDownContainerWidth = 150;
            provider.EditorControl.ClientEvents.DropDownOpening = "ChangeTextField";
           // provider.EditorControl.ClientEvents.
            WebDataGrid1.EditorProviders.Add(provider);
        }

       ((DropDownProvider) WebDataGrid1.EditorProviders["dropdown1"]).EditorControl.DataSource = populateGrid();
       ((DropDownProvider) WebDataGrid1.EditorProviders["dropdown1"]).EditorControl.TextField = "Name";
       ((DropDownProvider)WebDataGrid1.EditorProviders["dropdown1"]).EditorControl.ValueField = "Value";
    }

If you need to define the Editing behaviors from code behind also you do it in Init event like this:

    protected void WebDataGrid1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //instantiate an editing core
        EditingCore core = new EditingCore();
        core.Enabled = true;
        core.AutoCRUD = false;
        core.EditingClientEvents.CellValueChanged = "ChangeCellText";

        CellEditing editing = new CellEditing();
        core.Behaviors.Add(editing);
        editing.CellEditingClientEvents.EnteringEditMode = "Hey";

        //create the column setting for the Dropdown Column
        EditingColumnSetting setting = new EditingColumnSetting();
        setting.ColumnKey = "Value";
        setting.EditorID = "dropdown1";

        editing.ColumnSettings.Add(setting);
        WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.Add(core);
    }

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions on either of both issues, please consider opening a new thread for a new questions. This is recommended by Infragistics' policy as a way to help tracking and searching and enables us to provide better support.
