[Solved] Binding a list(of Object) to custom attributtes for the combobox

[Tri Nguyen]

Hello,

How could I populate a custom attributes from a List(of Object)? Let's say that I have an class rComboItem with 3 public properties: Name, Key & Type. After populating a List(of rComboItem), I want to set the Name to the DataTextField property, Key to DataValueField, and Type to Attributes("Type"). Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

Hello Tri Nguyen,

Yes, this is possible. You should subscribe to the ItemDataBound event and populate the attribute there. Here is some sample code:

Public Sub RadComboBox1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As RadComboBoxItemEventArgs)
    Dim dataItem As rComboItem = Cast(e.Item.DataItem, rComboItem)
    e.Item.Attributes("Type") = dataItem.Type.ToString()
End Sub
