Combo box binding from multiple instances of partial view

[todd.whitehead]

I have partial view that displays basic address fields that is included multiple times on the same host page: once for billing and once for shipping address.  This works as expected for the first instance on the page but bindinf event fails to fire for the second instance.

I suspect its because the client events have the same name but I'm not sure how to avoid that. I've been through all the samples and doco but havent found anything helpful. Help.

@(Html.Telerik().ComboBox()
    .Name("AjaxComboBox")
    .AutoFill(true)
    .HtmlAttributes(new { id = "AjaxComboBox_wrapper" , style = "width: 250px; float: left;" }).DropDownHtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 200px" })
    .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax()
    .Select("_FilteringAjax", "Customer")
    .Delay(400)
    .Cache(true))
    .Filterable(filtering =>
                {
                    filtering.FilterMode(AutoCompleteFilterMode.Contains);
                    filtering.MinimumChars(3);
                })
    .HighlightFirstMatch(false)
    .ClientEvents(events => events
               .OnDataBinding("onComboBoxDataBinding")
               .OnChange("onComboBoxChange"))
          )
          <span class="field-validation-error"> *</span>
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ZipPostalCode)
            </td>
        </tr>
    }

 

function onComboBoxDataBinding(e) {
alert("binding");
e.data = $.extend({}, e.data, { filterMode: 1 });
}

I have the exact same issue.  I am adding a partial view containg a radcombobox several times to a page through a PartialViewResult.  The first instance of each item appears and works fine, but each subsequent one fails.  I suspect it is also the name/id + event wireup that is only happening to the first instance of each control on the page.

Any solutions?

No response so far. I've lodged a support ticket to see it can be resolved that way.

I ended up just using traditional dropdownlists, even after trying asynchronous binding failed.  I would still prefer to use the combobox though so it matches the look and feel of the rest of my application. It's really disappointing.
