binding usercontrol to GridDataBoundGrid

[Administrator]

Hi,
I am binding a dataset to GridDataBoundGrid control.
One of the columns in the grid includes cells ,and inside each of these cells there is a usercontrol.
These usercontrols also need to be bound to the data.
How can I add usercontrols to the cells
and bind data to them?
Thanks.

Hi Shimon,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

To add the user control to grid and make use of it. Please follow these steps.
1) Create a model and a renderer class deriving from GridGenericCellModel and GridGenericCellRenderer classes respectively with properties to be made available.

2) Add this control to the cellmodels of griddataboundgrid as,

    this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.CellModels.Add("MyComboBox", new ComboCellModel(this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model));
   

Here, "MyComboBox" denotes the name of the usercontrol and ComboCellModel is the class created deriving from GridGenericCellModel.

3) Add the usercontrol to the respective cell.

How to add usercontrol to the cell
*******************************************
To provide the entire grid have the same usercontrol.

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.TableStyle .CellType = "MyComboBox";
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.TableStyle. CellValue = "One";
.......

To provide usercontrol to the specified cells, handle the PrepareViewStyleInfo event in griddataboundgrid.

if(e.RowIndex ==1 && e.ColIndex == 2)
{
  e.Style.CellType = "MyComboBox";
  e.Style.CellValue= "One";
  ------
}
