In the Page.PrerenderComplete event for !IsPostBack, I find a RadComboBoxItem and set the Selected property but the Text in the RadComboBox does not change. I can also set the RadComboBox.SelectedItemIndex and that still does not work. When the ComboBox renders, the old text is still there but when I do the drop down I see the item I selected using either method. I have degugged the control and see the properties I am setting Ok but never see the Text property change. The initial data load is bound to a SqlDataSource within the UC.
Shouldn't the ComboBox.Text follow the setting of either of these properties?
Also, this is inside of a user control on a page and it seems there have been others with the problem when inside a uc. I have another just in a regular page but not a UC and it works fine as expected.
Thanks, Dave

Anyone have suggestions on how to get this to work in a UC?

Telerik - do you offer any support here? There are several complaints about this? Do you know this works or does not work? Please post something...hopefully a sample proving it works or not.

Hi Dave,
The reason for the experienced behavior is due to the fact that you are trying to change the selected item too late during page life cycle. If you want to preselect a particular item, you should do this in Page_Load or Page_PreRender event.

Thanks Dimitar. I did try Page_Load but the control is databound to an EntityDataSource and was not yet populated. Should the combobox items be loaded if databound during page_load?

Hello Dave,
Have you tried setting the SelectedIndex in Page_PreRender event?
Regarding your questing when to bind the RadCombobox, yes it's preferable to use the Page_Load event.
