Hi,
I have a form control (21 R3) that binds to a simple class and on some properties I want to use a dropdownlist as the editor. This all works well other than I cannot set a default value? The dropdownlist does not honour any default set on it when within a form.
Is it possible to set defaults, and will those defaults survive a form reset?
Thanks in advance,
Zack

Hi, Zack,
When the Telerik UI DropDownList is bound to a specific C# object, then it would honor the value of the property of the object. The default value will be overridden. Would it be a problem if you set the default value directly in the C# instance of the class? This could happen by using a custom getter and setter for the property instead of the auto-generated ones.

Hi Tsvetomir,
Sure that works I will go with that approach.
Thanks for the help.

I am happy to hear that the approach above is applicable to your scenario. I have found an article on StackOverflow that elaborates further on how exactly to set the value:
