Best way to reporesent a foreign key

[Jeremy Branham]

In your Dialog example -

http://help.syncfusion.com/ug/asp.net%20mvc/grid/default.htm#!documents/throughgridbuilder52.htm

 

You display an "Employee ID" column with a numeric editor.

Let's assume this a foreign key value to an employee table.

The numeric editor is insufficient because a value can be selected that does not exist in the employee table.

 

What is the best way to represent a foreign key in the grid [display and editing]?

 

I have seen the drop down data source, which works for editing, but fails for displaying because the Id is still shown in the grid, rather than the display text [in this case, it could be the employee's name].
