[Solved] Behavior like standard DropDownList possible?

[Michael]

Hello!

I'm binding a standard dropdownlist to an objectdatasource by setting the properties "datatextfield" and "datavaluefield".

When I load a record from my database, I want to show the selected value which was saved into the record. I do this by setting dropdownlist1.text = valuefromtherecord while Page_Load-Event.

After Page is loaded, I can see the saved value selected in the dropdownlist.


When I want to do the same with RadComboBox, the control stays blank after Page-Loading!?! Why?

Any suggestions?

Bye

Michael

Hi Michael,

Have you set the AllowCustomText property of the RadComboBox to true? if not try setting it and see whether it is working as expected.

CS:

   RadComboBox1.Text = "Default Text";
    RadComboBox1.AllowCustomText = true;

Thanks
Shinu.
