Storing an arraylist in a cell

[Philip Bishop]

Can I store and arraylist in a cell?

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

We can bind a cell to Arraylist by using the cell type as "Control". Please find the following code that illustratrates this:

           cmb = new ComboBox();
            this.Controls.Add(cmb);
            ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
            list.Add(new MyClass(111));
            list.Add(new MyClass(222));
            cmb.DataSource = list;
            cmb.DisplayMember = "id";
            this.gridControl1[1, 1].CellType = "Control";
            this.gridControl1[1, 1].Control = this.cmb;

Please have a look at the sample in the following link:

Please let me know if any concerns.

Ok so if I then want to copy that arraylist being held in the grid to a combobox outside the grid how would I get at the data? Do I have to loop through or is there anyway I can then move it from the grid cell to a combobox outside the grid?

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your patience.

Currently we can retrieve the values of the combobox using loop only. We dont have any specific way to move the data outside the Grid.

Please let me know if any concerns.
