Adding Items on Client Side

[Mark]

Is there an example anywhere that shows how to add new items on the client side to the dropdown list?

The documentation seems to be lacking any examples really for the dropdowns client side.

I found the code in the template section for adding a item on the client side.  The code however seems to be incorrect because there is no Telerik.Web.UI.RadDropDownListItem()  but rather Telerik.Web.UI.DropDownListItem().

Also the RadDropDownListItemCollection does not even state that the Add method exists?

Hi Mark,

Please have a look at the following code I tried to add a RadDropDownList item from client side.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function addItem() {
        var raddropdownlist = $find('<%=RadDropDownList1.ClientID %>');
        var dropdownItem = new Telerik.Web.UI.DropDownListItem();
        dropdownItem.set_text("ItemText");
        raddropdownlist.get_items().add(dropdownItem);
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
