Cascading Combobox sample needed

[Tim Larson]

I am trying to use the sfDataGrid and create a simple combobox of Country the user will select the country and then the next combobox will be a dropdown of the states for each country.

I am tring to populate the combox values from a datatable and I keep getting the key already exists.

Please provide a simple example of above using a datatable.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim, 

 

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products. 

 

We have checked the reported query “Change the items source of combo box column based on another combo box column value” from our side. You can achieve your requirement by using IDataSourceSelector property of the GridComboBoxColumn.  

 

Code Example : IDataSourceSelector implementation and assigned to GridComboBoxColumn. 

  

public Form1() 

{ 

    InitializeComponent(); 

    this.sfDataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridComboBoxColumn() { MappingName = "State", DisplayMember = "State", ValueMember = "State", IDataSourceSelector = new CustomSelector() }); 

} 

 

public class CustomSelector : IDataSourceSelector 

{ 

    DataTable statesOfUS; 

    DataTable statesOfBrazil; 

 

    public CustomSelector() 

    { 

        statesOfBrazil = GetStatesOfBrazil(); 

        statesOfUS = GetStatesOfUS(); 

    } 

 

    public IEnumerable GetDataSource(object record, object dataSource) 

    { 

        if (record == null) 

            return null; 

 

        var data = record as DataRowView; 

        var countryName = data.Row["Country"].ToString(); 

 

        if (countryName == "US") 

            return statesOfUS.DefaultView; 

        else if (countryName == "Brazil") 

            return statesOfBrazil.DefaultView; 

 

        return null; 

    } 

 

    public DataTable GetStatesOfUS() 

    { 

        DataTable collection = new DataTable(); 

        collection.Columns.Add("State", typeof(string)); 

        collection.Rows.Add("Alaska"); 

        collection.Rows.Add("California"); 

        collection.Rows.Add("Colorado"); 

 

        return collection; 

    } 

 

    public DataTable GetStatesOfBrazil() 

    { 

        DataTable collection = new DataTable(); 

        collection.Columns.Add("State", typeof(string)); 

        collection.Rows.Add("Rio de Janeiro"); 

        collection.Rows.Add("Bahia"); 

        collection.Rows.Add("Roraima"); 

 

        return collection; 

    } 

} 

 

We have attached the sample for your reference and you can download the same from the following location.
