Combobox with template

[Blop]

Hello. I've a little issue to get the combobox as I want it to be.
I have, in a database, a table "colors" (let say it only has an "ID" and "code" fields). I want to populate a radcombobox with a small square of each color.

Here's what I do:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbProdColors" Width="60" runat="server" MarkFirstMatch="false"  AllowCustomText="false" DataValueField="ID" >
              <ItemTemplate>
                     <div style=" height:15px;width:15px;border:solid black 1px;background-color: #<%# Eval("Code")%>"></div>
            </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

And in the code behind:

Dim query = (From c In db.Colors Select c)
rcbProdColors.DataSource = query
rcbProdColors.DataBind()

It's working but not completly.
I have two main issues:

First: The first "item" of the combobox isnt a color square but text saying "colors". I dont know where it comes from, my guess is it is the name of the table in the database. How can I remove it and have a color square as first item?

Second: More important: I can't select anything... whatever my choice, the selected item will always be the first item (in this case the text "colors"). How can I make a selection on this combobox?

Thanx in advance for yours answers.

Well thanks but it's almost the same things I do... I don't understand why can't I select an Item and why there's a first item created wich has nothing to do there...

Hi,

Try to specify the DataTextField and DataValueField when databinding the RadComboBox:
