I have a combobox with enableloadondemand.

On a postback the dropdown does not contain any value.
I want the dropdown to retain the values.

I was using Q3 earlier and with externalcallbackpage i never faced this problem.

Any suggestions?

Hi there,

RadComboBox items added on demand via callback do not persist after postback as these items are added only at the client-side (not at the server). However, you can access the selected value at the server side by calling the SelectedValue property of the combobox (this is valid for RadComboBox as part of Telerik.Web.UI. With the classic version of the control, you had to use the Value property of the RadComboBox object).

Hope this helps.

The SelectedValue for the ComboBox Selected item comes as blank.

The only thing I get is the Text.

Hello ,

I think that the best way to proceed is to send us a simple running project illustrating the problem.

We will test it locally and provide you with a solution or more specific instructions.


Kind regards,

I had a Page.DataBind() statement that was creating the problems for me.
After I removed the statement the SelectedValue is available to me.

Why do we have to turn the viewstate on for this to work?
We have the same problem...it worked with the prometheus q3 version.  But now as I'm trying out the new version it dosent work anymore.  Turning the viewstate on is something we want to avoid.

It worked perfect before and it works with asp DropDownLists

address

.AddressTypeId.ToString();
