Which dojo widget should be used for DropDown - drop-down-menu

I wish to create dynamic dropdown, meaning the value of the second dropdown changes with the change in selection on the first. I was looking through the Dojo docs and it seems there are 3 different widgets that I can use,
dijit/form/ComboBox
dojox/form/DropDownSelect
dijit.form.Select
Now I am confused as to which one should i use for creating Dynamic DropDowns?

You can choose anyone depending upon what extra features you want. While dijit.form.Select is your normal HTML select, combobox and filteringselect offer more features.
Follow http://kennethfranqueiro.com/2010/06/combobox-vs-filteringselect/ for a comparison between the two. You can also play with them to know how they work.
I had used FilteringSelect in my app for the same behavior as need.

Differences between dojo dropdown :
Select It is simple combobox like select in HTML with no validation
and not provide any search facility inside select options.
ComboBox It is pure form of combobox and name as ComboBox again it
will not provide any default validation but it provide search
facility within its options.
FilteringSelect It is an advance form of select have default
facility of validation and search facility. And it also has property
to take value as input tag take value in HTML.
In dojo you can also try custom validation which is provided inside dojox library. I hope it will help you.

Is it possible to filter a subgrid based on what is selected in a dropdown field?

Is it possible to filter a subgrid (Or some sort of list) based on what a user has selected in a dropdown field? If yes, how can I do this?
There is no easy way to do this.
For previous versions, there were some approaches to achieve this requirement (supported or unsupported way). Later this broke and ended up with community recommended Plugin approach. Read more
Since this is picklist dependent, I would assume the list items are few, probably you can build views based on dropdown values & manipulate the subgrid view based on the form value. Read more
Worst case, you can build a custom HTML webresource to render a grid by querying using web api filters.

Sitecore page editor dropdown

I would kindly ask for your help :) From couple of days I am trying to achieve "linked" custom field in content editor and dropdown in page editor.
Basically I want to have dropdown in page editor and content editor which are responsible for a same thing.
In my c# code i have enums which represent directions. I created custom field which accepts assembly and class with overridden onload method and successfully populate dropdown values in the content editor. So far so good but i have no idea how to create dropdown which will represent the same functionality inside page editor.
So please give me any ideas...
Judging from your reply to my comment you need to think of the following: How is my field value being rendered onto a page?
If you are always using 1 control to do this then you just need to ensure that this control has 2 different rendering modes depending on the Context.PageMode
But as I understand it you want this dropdown to also appear when someone renders your custom field using a <sc:FieldRenderer>. In this case you'll need to look into the RenderField pipeline of Sitecore. There you find a processor called RenderWebEditing. Possibly through some manipulation here you can get your dropdown appear as you wish.

How to make model field conditionally required in MVC3?

I have a view with a dropdown and a Rich Textbox. This view is associated with a model. I would like to make Rich Textbox field is required based on the value selected in dropdownlist.
is there any out of the box feature available in MVC3 to do this?
I have had similar requirements in the past, I solved them using FoolProof. It provides extra validation objects such as requiredIf etc.
Only issue I have had is with the JS file, it can be a bit buggy around dates and date handling, other than that, it is ace.

How to Custom Search Panel In jQGrid

How Custom Search Panel In jQgrid example I Want translate search operation example equal to = or greaderthen > or ... or translate to arabic,
thanks all
I have perused the jqGrid wiki and found two pages which might help you.
This page talks about custom searching and its parameters. Notice that you can bind to the beforeSearch event and fire your own function, and parse the search text to accomplish whatever you want.
There is also toolbar searching, which allows custom filtering on each field in your data table. Depending on your solution, you may want to pursue this path. Again, this option also has events that you can bind to if the default search options don't fit your need.

jqGrid using radio buttons for editable rows

I'm currently using jqGrid and ASP.Net MVC. With my current project, my goal is to provide a grid of data to the end user, and they can then edit this. The data is machine-generated, and the users will be confirming if the machine is correct or not.
I think ideally for speed, I'd like to provide a row per item, with a radio button group as the editable. The users could then pick from the values 'Unknown', 'Correct', 'Incorrect'.
As there will be a lot of data, I'd also like to provide a control of some type that can set all rows in the grid to one of the available radio button choices, for the user experience.
Given that there seems to be no native support for this in jqGrid, I wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience writing something like this, and whether this is achievable and reliable, or whether I should stick with the drop-down editable approach that is native to jqGrid.
To implement radio button as the editable instead of the standard drop-down editable approach you can use so named custom editing feature of jqGrid (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:common_rules#custom). This allows you to create any custom control to edit the cell value. An example of the implementation you can find here: Add multiple input elements in a custom edit type field.
To set all rows in the grid to one of the available radio button choices you can use either a control outside of jqGrid or add an additional custom button in the navigation bar (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:custom_buttons). If you search for navButtonAdd you will find a lot of examples how to implement this, for example, Jqgrid: navigation based on the selected row. Because you use server based data, you can just call a method on the server to make the changes which you need and then call trigger("reloadGrid") to refresh jqGrid data.
