Text not showing in Template?

[Stephen]

<telerik:RadComboBox id="RadComboBox1" runat="server" AllowCustomText="false" Skin="WebBlue" style="height: 23px;"
 EnableTextSelection="false" HighlightTemplatedItems="false" Width="80px" Height="115px" Font-Size="11px" ForeColor="Gray"
    >

    <CollapseAnimation Duration="100" Type="InOutQuint" />

    <Items>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="One" Value="One" />
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Two" Value="Two"/>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Three" Value="Three"/>
    </Items>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="CheckBox" onclick="stopPropagation(event);" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Text") %>'/>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Could someone please assist me in getting the above code block to show the text when the dropdown is opened?

Interesting, I found bit of a work around for this... If I use data binding and bind to my own collection, the templating works perfectly, of course I also had to change Container to Container.DataItem, but it worked. 

So it seems as though not using data binding seems to be the problem?

Telerik Team, what do you all think?

Hi Stephen,

It is not necessary to bind to a data source to apply Templates. Calling DataBind on an Item will cause all of the Template's data binding expressions to be evaluated, so you need to do this.

For more information please see this help topic.
