Description field is missing in New Rad Combobox

[ankool]

Hi,

I am using rad combobox in several pages of my website. I have updated all of its instances in my code after getting the latest version of Rad Combobox.
But earlier i was making use of description field in the combobox:
    

        <

 

radC:RadComboBox ID="combPayment" runat="server" Description="PAYMENT_TABLE" MarkFirstMatch="true"

 

 

            AllowCustomText="False" ExpandEffect="Fade" Height="150px" NoWrap="True" Width="200px"

 

 

            TabIndex="4" >

 

        </radC:RadComboBox>

And the new version doesn't have any description field.
This field contains the name of the database table, used to fill the comboboxes.
Now i don't want to add dynamic attributes to combobox , So is there any other field that i can use or any other way ?


Thanks

Hello ankool,

RadComboBox never had a Description property. I suggest you use the DataSource property to achieve your goal.

Also you can review our DataBinding example.

Hi Rosi,

The previous version of RAD Combobox did have the DESCRIPTION field. I have like 100 comboboxes and all are making use of that field for about a year or so.

This field simply contains a name, don't take it wrong as a datasource name and then databinding. I just need a field, which can contain any name, excluding text, value and tootip fields.

Thanks

Hi ankool,

You can use a custom attribute instead:

RadComboBox1.Attributes["MyValue"] = "some_value";
