How to pass model to editor templates

Question

I am using Telerik MVC Grid, with ajax binding and I use grid editing in InCell editing mode with editor templates. I would like to pass model to the editors.

As I know if I had used the server binding, it could be possible to pass the model to the editor templates. But I am not sure about Ajax binding.

Is it possible to pass a model to editor templates when you use Ajax binding?

Yes you can! It does it automatically. just if your template editor is a list box , you should pass the list items through a ViewBag.XXX property. Here is an example of ProductSelector.ascx editor template :

    <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<int>" %>

<%Html.Telerik().ComboBox()
        .Name(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(string.Empty))
        .AutoFill(true)
            .BindTo(((IEnumerable<Aien.CRM.Biz.Entities.Product>)ViewBag.PossibleProducts).Select(option => new SelectListItem
            {
                Text = (option == null ? "(None)" : option.Title),
                Value = option.Id.ToString()
            }))
        .OpenOnFocus(true)
        .Render();

%>

don't forget to put a UiHint attribute for the related model property.
