How to get selected value from EditItemTemplate-Dropdown?

[Najir]

Hi

WhWe have added a dropdown dynamically as in the code below. How do we get the value the user has selected in the drop down when the chenges are saved?

protected void GridControl_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell || e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell)
{
if (e.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name == ChecklistItemTableColumns.DepartmentID)
{
DropDownList departmentDropDown = new DropDownList();
departmentDropDown.ID = "m_DepartmentDropDown" + checklistItemID.ToString();
departmentDropDown.DataSource = GetDepartmentDataTable();
departmentDropDown.DataTextField = Department_LVTableColumns.DepartmentName;
departmentDropDown.DataValueField = Department_LVTableColumns.DepartmentID;
departmentDropDown.DataBind();
departmentDropDown.SelectedValue = e.Style.CellValue.ToString();
departmentDropDown.AutoPostBack = false;

TemplateClass editItemTemplate = new TemplateClass(departmentDropDown);
e.TableCellIdentity.Column.EditItemTemplate = editItemTemplate;
}


}

Hi Najir,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can retrieve the values of the dropdown list in edit mode, by the following code below:

protected void DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DropDownList ddl = sender as DropDownList;
Record rd = GridGroupingControl1.Table.CurrentRecord;

rd.SetValue("City", ddl.SelectedItem.Value);

}

Please refer the sample in the link below which illustrates the above:

Please try running the sample and let me know if this helps.
