Give A ResourceType Combobox a value

[Tofan]

1.I have a rad scheduler. Inside I have one ResourceType that binds a sqldatasource. I want to be able programatic(from code behind) to set the selectedvalue of the resourcetype. The desired value can change. Can someone please help me with this problem?

Example:

I have inside .aspx

                    <ResourceTypes>
                        <telerik:ResourceType KeyField="ID_OPERATIE" Name="Operatie" TextField="denumire"
                            ForeignKeyField="ID_OPERATIE" DataSourceID="dsOperatie" AllowMultipleValues="false">
                        </telerik:ResourceType>
                        <telerik:ResourceType KeyField="ID_SALA" Name="Sala" TextField="nume" ForeignKeyField="ID_SALA"
                            DataSourceID="dsSala" AllowMultipleValues="false"></telerik:ResourceType>
                    </ResourceTypes>

inside FormCreated in code behind

RadComboBox cbResOperatie = (RadComboBox)e.Container.FindControl("ResOperatie");
                cbResOperatie.Width = cb_echipament.Width;
                cbResOperatie.Height = 200;
                cbResOperatie.Filter = RadComboBoxFilter.Contains;
                cbResOperatie.SelectedIndexChanged += new RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventHandler(cbResOperatie_SelectedIndexChanged);
                cbResOperatie.AutoPostBack = true;

and inside cbResOperatie_SelectedIndexChanged (when the value of the Operatie changes) I need to be able to change the selected value of the  resource field Sala. Please help. 

2.Another problem I use a SelectedIndexChanged handler that was bound programaticly inside FormCreated of the RadScheduler for another ResourceType. Can some one tell me why e.Value is displaying a long string like 'cvxbvxcbxcghfsfgf' instead of an number representing ForeignKeyField value? Please help. 

Example:

RadComboBox cbResOperatie = (RadComboBox)e.Container.FindControl("ResOperatie");
                cbResOperatie.Width = cb_echipament.Width;
                cbResOperatie.Height = 200;
                cbResOperatie.Filter = RadComboBoxFilter.Contains;
                cbResOperatie.SelectedIndexChanged += new RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventHandler(cbResOperatie_SelectedIndexChanged);
                cbResOperatie.AutoPostBack = true;

and inside cbResOperatie_SelectedIndexChanged we have as a parameter e.Value.

It doesn't even trigger the AppoinmentInsert or AppointmentUpdate events. The Error is  inside the attached file. Hope it helps and is clearer than my first post.
Thank you for your time and help.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

I would like to clarify that we highly recommend to avoid using auto post back functionality of the RadComboBox within the advanced form. As far as I understand you want to set some additional settings for the RadComboBox such as: Filter option and set the data source and fields. Please note that the RadComboBox controls is bound to the resource data source internally and changing its data source might cause some problems.

In order to add or change some RadComboBox settings I would suggest using the advanced form as a completely separate user control. This way you have more control on the controls within the advanced form, so you can set filter options, width, height and etc. Please refer to this help resource that provides an example of the RadScheduler will server-side and client binding. Please note that the advanced form is located in a separate user control.

Hope that this will be helpful.
