    Hello
    I am trying to grab the SelectedValue of a RadComboBox unsuccessfully on button click.

    protected void smsBtn_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
            MyClass MC= new MyClass (_FID, emTxBx.Text);
    {
    if (!MC.IsError)
    {

    string _carrier = carrierRcb.SelectedValue;

    MC.SMSMessage(_FID, _carrier, cellTxBx.Text);

    statusLbl.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    statusLbl.Text = "Your Code Key has been sent.";
    statusPnl.Visible = true;
    }
    else
    {
    statusLbl.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    statusLbl.Text = "There was an error sending your request.";
    statusPnl.Visible = true;
    }
    }

    }


    Seems like a simple thing to do. Am I missing something here?

    Hi,

    Please have a look into the sample code snippet which works fine at my end.

    ASPX:
    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item1" Value="0" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item2" Value="1" />
            <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Item3" Value="2" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>
    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="Get SelectedItem" OnClick="RadButton1_Click">
    </telerik:RadButton>

    C#:
    protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string text = RadComboBox1.SelectedItem.Text;
        string value = RadComboBox1.SelectedValue;
    }

    Thanks,
    Shinu.

    Hi and thanks for your response however your solution does not work for me. Here is my binding method and page view code:

    ​ StandardClass RC = new StandardClass();
    if (!RC.IsError)
    {
    carrierRcb.DataSource = RC.ReturnCarriers();
    carrierRcb.DataTextField = "Carrier";
    carrierRcb.DataValueField = "str";
    carrierRcb.DataBind();
    }


    <asp:TableRow>
    <asp:TableCell CssClass="cellPad">
    <asp:Label ID="carrierLbl" runat="server" CssClass="label" />
    </asp:TableCell>
    <asp:TableCell CssClass="cellPad">
    <telerik:RadComboBox ID="carrierRcb" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Select your Cell Phone Carrier..." Skin="Windows7" />
    </asp:TableCell>
    </asp:TableRow>

    I do not define the combobox via items list and niether string works in my case.

    I've got the same issue.
    Works with RadcomboboxItem from aspx.
    but with a set of datasource from the codebehind doesn't work, use OnSelectedIndexChanged to check the new index,
    RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs returns an error for the new value and sometimes the text is correct

    My version of telerik is : 2013.2.717.35

    Well I hate to admit I overlooked a mistake I made in my class file. The following function is used to grab the carrier info and I left out the "str = r.String" part of the array. Whoooops! :) If you are still having the same issue Patrice, let me know and I will help.

    ​ //Return a list of all Cell Phone Carriers
    public Array ReturnCarriers()
    {
    try
    {
    var result = from r in VEPS.CellPhoneCarriers
    select new { Carrier = r.Carrier, str = r.String };

    return result.ToArray();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    _IsError = true;
    _ErrorMsg = ex.Message;
    return null;
    }
    }
