Hello Shawn,
Thank you for writing.
I performed some tests with RadDropDownList and I can confirm that simple binding does not be work as expected. I logged the issue in our Public Issue Tracking System. I hope that we will be able to provide a solution regarding the simple binding in one of our next releases. Still, because of the nature of the issue, I am not able to provide you with a specific time frame. Here is a link to the item, where you can add your vote for it:
