I am databinding a GridView to an object datasource. The gridview contains a TemplateField which contains a RadioButtonList with ListItems defined inline.
I want to be able to databind the SelectedValue of the RadioButtonList to the same underlying table as the other grid columns, but it doesn't work!
Do I have my syntax wrong, or is this impossible and requires looping code to individually select the proper item in each row?
<llblgenpro:LLBLGenProDataSource ID="llbComputerApplication" DataContainerType="EntityCollection" runat="server"></llblgenpro:LLBLGenProDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="gridComputerApps" DataSourceID="llbComputerApplication" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
EmptyDataText ="NO APPLICATIONS FOUND FOR THIS COMPUTER."
DataKeyNames="ComputerID, ApplicationID" EnableViewState="False"
style="border-style:dotted;border-width:thin"
>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ApplicationID" HeaderText="Application ID" SortExpression="ApplicationID" Visible="True" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Application Name"><ItemTemplate><%#Eval("Application.ApplicationName")%></ItemTemplate></asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Normalized Name"><ItemTemplate><%#Eval("Application.NormalizedAppName")%></ItemTemplate></asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Notes"><ItemTemplate><%#Eval("Application.NormalizedNotes")%></ItemTemplate></asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:RadioButtonList SelectedValue='<%#Eval("RequirementOption")%>' ID="rblRequirementOption" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="Need Now" Text="Need Now"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Need Someday" Text="Need Someday"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Do Not Need" Text="Do Not Need"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="NormalizedNotes" HeaderText="Notes" Visible="False" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
