Cannot call method 'value' of kendoDropDownList before it is initialized

[Shubhankar]

Hi,

I am using kendoDropDownList in my application. I am trying to get and set values and text using Value() and Text() methods of kendodropdownlist. But while trying to get and set those values I am getting below error. Can you please let me know how to check if a kendodropdownlist has been intialized or not. I have tried checking undefined but somehow it still throws the same error.
