Telerik MVC Grid: How to use DropDownList in a column?

Question

I have a Telerik MVC grid, in an MVC 3 application with Razor, which is being Ajax-bound. I am now trying to add a drop list column to it, so that users can use it in edit m

Answer 1

I asked the good support folks at Telerik about this. Here is the answer they gave me:

The Model is null because the DropDownList partial view is rendered for ajax editing. In that case the grid prerenders all partial view editor templates so it can use them on the client-side. In that case Model will be null. If you used server binding and editing the Model would be set to the right value.

At this point, I'm going to accept this post as the answer to my question. It's unfortunate that I have to accept my own answer in this case, but ... well, I didn't get any others to choose from :)
