Client-Methods are not available

[Paul]

I’m new to the RadControls for VS2010 and have been having a problem trying to get the client-side methods to exist. I upgraded an existing project through the Upgrade Wizard. I placed four copies of the ComboBox on the ASP page utilizing AJAX. The first three ComboBoxes are setup for cascading functionality. The first is populated through an Object Data Source. The next two are populated server side and this is working. The forth control is set up to be populated client side based on the selection of the first controls. The object exists in the client side script. The methods in the documentation are undefined. What am I missing in order to use the client-side methods? I don't think I need the Telerik.QuickStart but I gave it a try.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="qsf" Namespace="Telerik.QuickStart" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

 

 

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

              </telerik:RadScriptManager>

 

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

       </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server" Height="200px" Width="810px">

 

 

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" Width="700px" AutoPostBack="False" Enabled="False"

       HighlightTemplatedItems="true" Skin="WebBlue" CausesValidation="False"

       DataTextField="ConfigID" DataValueField="ConfigID"

       EnableItemBindingExpressions="False">

                           </tr>

                     </table>

              </HeaderTemplate>

       <ItemTemplate>

              <table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;">

                           </tr>

Hello Paul,

Please try to provide me with the implementation where you are getting reference to the client-side object of the RadComboBox. From what you have explained as a behavior it seems to me that you are not properly referencing it.

Best wishes,

I made a change to the way I got the reference to the RadComboBox and I can now utilize the client-side methods. I was using:

_rcb1 = document.getElementById("<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");

This gave me a reference to an object. I then changed it to:

_cboConfig = $find(

 

"<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");

 

in the pageLoad and got the correct reference to the object.
