I believe I have identified a bug with the RadDropDownTree control when it is used on a page with the AjaxManager but is not one of the updated controls of an Ajax postback. I have noticed and captured where the RadDropDownTree only has one selected value, but when checking the RadDropDownTree's SelectedValue it often has the selected value listed multiples times after the Ajax postback. Below is the example code I put together and steps I am able to reproduce the issue.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="RadDropDownTreeTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="ALPS.Net.Development.RadDropDownTreeTest" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server"></telerik:RadScriptManager>

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" DefaultLoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1">

<AjaxSettings>

<telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="RadDropDownList1">

<UpdatedControls>

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="RadDropDownList2" />

<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="SelectedValue" />

</UpdatedControls>

</telerik:AjaxSetting>

</AjaxSettings>

</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

<telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" Skin="Default"></telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel>

<div>

<telerik:RadDropDownList ID="RadDropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadDropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">

<Items>

<telerik:DropDownListItem Value="alpha" Text="Alpha" Selected="true" />

<telerik:DropDownListItem Value="num" Text="Numeric" />

</Items>

</telerik:RadDropDownList>

</div>

}

SelectedValue.Text = RadDropDownTree1.SelectedValue;

}

void RadDropDownTree1_NodeDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.DropDownTreeNodeDataBoundEventArguments e)

{

if (e.DropDownTreeNode.Text == "Text2 ")

e.DropDownTreeNode.CreateEntry();

}

public DataTable GetData()

{

DataTable table = new DataTable();

public void BuildAlphaList()

RadDropDownList2.Items.Add(new DropDownListItem { Value = "3", Text = "3" });

}

protected void RadDropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, DropDownListEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Value == "alpha")

BuildAlphaList();

else

BuildNumList();

}

STEPS:

Load the page.
From the RadDropDownTree control select the top most node "Text1"
From the first RadDropDownList select Numeric and notice the value of the label ("customValue1")
From the first RadDropdownList select Alpha and again notice the value of the label ("customValue1,customValue1")
From the first RadDropDownList select Numeric again and again view the label ("customValue1,customValue1,customValue1")

If you were to add the RadDropDownTree as an updated control in AjaxManager, reload the page, and try the steps again the selected value works as expected having only the single selected value.

If you were to comment out the AjaxManager, reload the page, and try the steps again the Selected value operates as expected only having the single SelectedValue.

Bug or is there some setting I am missing? Thanks!

Just came across this "feature" myself.

My workaround was to check for this on PostBack in PageLoad. Fortunately everywhere I used this control it was wrapped in a user control to workaround various other "features" so was simple to implement.

NB. This only suits for single selection.

Although I wasn't happy with the old RadTreeView inside RadComboBox it was a lot more reliable than this new control. I wish I hadn't updated!

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (Page.IsPostBack)

{

int pos = rdtSectionId.SelectedValue.IndexOf(",");

if (pos != -1)

{

rdtSectionId.SelectedValue = rdtSectionId.SelectedValue.Substring(0, pos);

}

It works!! thanks!!

The CheckBoxes="None" option doesn't work.

                         <telerik:RadDropDownTree runat="server" ID="cmbDueno" Width="700px"
                                    CheckBoxes="None"
                                    DefaultMessage="Seleccione"
                                    DataValueField="CodJerarquia" DataFieldParentID="PadreJerarquia"
                                    DataFieldID="Codigo" DataTextField="Nombre"
                                    DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource16">
                                    <DropDownSettings Height="340px" CloseDropDownOnSelection="true"/>
                                </telerik:RadDropDownTree>

If anyone is still experiencing this issue, John's code is helpful, with one small tweak necessary. The line with the Substring needs to get the most recent value chosen, not the first one as it does now. Each time a postback happens after selecting another choice, SelectedValue will have two items in it, the previous choice first and the current choice after the comma. The selected value needs to be the current choice, so that line should read:

rdtSectionId.SelectedValue = rdtSectionId.SelectedValue.Substring(pos + 1);
