GridDataitem retrival issue

[mark_me]

Hi, I have an editformtemplate in a grid. The edit form contains 2 radiobuttons along with other controls. During itemdatabound , i convert the values of this column in grid to yes/no. Now on itemdatabound , when the form goes into edit mode i want to get the yes/no value and after converting to true/false want to populate radiobuttons. I am having problem retrieving the Cell data from the grid in edit mode. The exception is: Telerik.Web.UI.GridNotSupportedException: Item in insert mode does implement indexer only when the edit form is autogenerated at Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormInsertItem.get_Item(String columnUniqueName) Code:

'ItemDatabound code snippet

Select Case e.Item.ItemType

                Case Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemType.Item, GridItemType.AlternatingItem

                    Dim item As Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem = e.Item
                    'display Yes/No instead of flag 1,0
                    If CType(item("IsNewProduct").Text, Boolean) = False Then
                        item("IsNewProduct").Text = "NO"
                    Else
                        item("IsNewProduct").Text = "YES"
                    End If



                Case GridItemType.EditFormItem 'inside template edit form 

                    If e.Item.IsInEditMode Then

                        'populate controsl on  template edit form
                        Dim item As Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditableItem = e.Item
                        Dim editFormItem As GridEditFormItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditFormItem)

                        'Below line throws error, i am trying to retrieve yes, no and chose the correct radiobutton accordingly
                        Dim IsNewProductValue As String = CType(item("IsNewProduct").Text, String) 
                       'Exception is : Telerik.Web.UI.GridNotSupportedException: Item in insert mode does implement indexer only
		' when the edit form is autogenerated at Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditFormInsertItem.get\_Item(String columnUniqueName) 

i have tried setting item as

Dim editFormItem As GridEditFormItem = CType(e.Item, GridEditFormItem)
Dim item As Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditableItem = Ctype(editFormItem.ParentItem,GridDataItem)

but this also didnt work Please provide help in this regard. Thanks ... Regards
