Populate RadListBox via a web service

[Nicholas Walker]

Is there a way to populate a RadListBox via a web service?  I don't see an obvious way like there is with the RadMenu.

Thanks,

Hi Nicholas Walker,

RadListBox does not support direct binding to Web Service data.

As an alternative you could try using the following approach:

1. Load the required data from the Web Service in JSON format.
2. Iterate through the data and create RadListBoxItems (by using the client-side API).
3. Use the insertItems client-side method of RadListBox to load these Items.

The insertItems method is a recent addition to RadListBox and is optimized to handle large bulk inserts of Items.
