To reproduce: - Use the code below on a new grid with 3 combo box columns - computer_id, computer_des, location_id public static DataTable dsComputerImages = null; public static DataTable dsLocations = null; private void loadComputerImagesGrid() { dsLocations = new DataTable(); DataColumn newColumn = new DataColumn("location_id", typeof(Int64)); dsLocations.Columns.Add(newColumn); newColumn = new DataColumn("location_des", typeof(String)); dsLocations.Columns.Add(newColumn); DataRow newRow = dsLocations.NewRow(); newRow["location_id"] = 1; newRow["location_des"] = "Boston"; dsLocations.Rows.Add(newRow); newRow = dsLocations.NewRow(); newRow["location_id"] = 2; newRow["location_des"] = "New York"; dsLocations.Rows.Add(newRow); newRow = dsLocations.NewRow(); newRow["location_id"] = 3; newRow["location_des"] = "Huston"; dsLocations.Rows.Add(newRow); dsComputerImages = new DataTable(); newColumn = new DataColumn("computer_id", typeof(Int64)); dsComputerImages.Columns.Add(newColumn); newColumn = new DataColumn("computer_des", typeof(String)); dsComputerImages.Columns.Add(newColumn); newColumn = new DataColumn("location_id", typeof(Int64)); dsComputerImages.Columns.Add(newColumn); newRow = dsComputerImages.NewRow(); newRow["computer_id"] = 1; newRow["computer_des"] = "AAA"; newRow["location_id"] = "1"; dsComputerImages.Rows.Add(newRow); newRow = dsComputerImages.NewRow(); newRow["computer_id"] = 2; newRow["computer_des"] = "BBB"; newRow["location_id"] = "1"; dsComputerImages.Rows.Add(newRow); newRow = dsComputerImages.NewRow(); newRow["computer_id"] = 3; newRow["computer_des"] = "CCC"; newRow["location_id"] = "2"; dsComputerImages.Rows.Add(newRow); newRow = dsComputerImages.NewRow(); newRow["computer_id"] = 4; newRow["computer_des"] = "DDD"; newRow["location_id"] = "3"; dsComputerImages.Rows.Add(newRow); this.ComputerImagesGrid.AutoGenerateColumns = false; this.ComputerImagesGrid.DataSource = dsComputerImages; this.ComputerImagesGrid.AutoSizeRows = true; } private void ComputerImagesGrid_DataBindingComplete(object sender, GridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e) { ((GridViewComboBoxColumn)((RadGridView)sender).Columns["location_id"]).DataSource = dsLocations; ((GridViewComboBoxColumn)((RadGridView)sender).Columns["location_id"]).ValueMember = "location_id"; ((GridViewComboBoxColumn)((RadGridView)sender).Columns["location_id"]).DisplayMember = "location_des"; ((GridViewComboBoxColumn)((RadGridView)sender).Columns["location_id"]).DisplayMemberSort = true; }
