Rough class schema:
public class Entity
{
public Guid ID;
public Dictionary<String, object> Attributes;
}
Attributes has the following keys: listname (string), membercount(integer), type (boolean)
.
I have a Telerik RadComboBox which is databound through code-behind to a List and has an ItemTemplate:
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="CboLists" DataValueField="Id">
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<b><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Attributes['listname']") %></b> (<%# ViewHelper.GetBooleanValue("list", "type",(bool)((Entity)Container.DataItem).Attributes["type"]) %>)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Attributes['membercount']") %> Leden
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>
I want to show the value of the Attribute with key listname
in the combobox as the DataTextField, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I've checked on here and everything I can find on using dictionaries in a combobox involves using a dictionary as the datasource. I would think it's possible, because it works in the ItemTemplate, and I can get it to work in a RadGrid on the DataField property using Attributes[listname]
, but when I try that construct, it doesn't work.
How can i get this to work?
