DropDownList Cannot Preselect the Drop-Down ID of the Current Grid Row
Environment
| Product | Progress® Telerik® UI Grid for UI for ASP.NET Core |
| Product Version | 2017.2.621 |
Description
I cannot get the DropDownList to preselect the drop-down ID of the current row. How can I bind it to the column value when the Grid for ASP.NET Core is in edit mode?
Steps to Reproduce
This is a logged issue. The Core helpers duplicate the property name when the DropDownList() and Name() declarations are used. For more information, refer to this issue.
Suggested Workarounds
Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core does not provide a built-in solution for achieving this behavior. However, you can still workaround the issue by using a .DropDownListFor(m => m) definition when defining an Editor Template.
@model Project.Models.StateProvinceRegionViewModel
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
.DataValueField("Id")
.DataTextField("Name")
.DataSource(d => d
.Read(r => r.Action("GetStateProvinceRegions", "Admin"))
)
)
