[Solved] Display more than 1 item

[Ryan]

I have a radcombo box that has the users First Name and Last Name. When the user selects I want both the first and last name to appear in the selected value, Like after you select the name it will say like John Smith. I am only able to get John.

Hi Ryan,

Try the following code snippet and see whether it helps.

CS:

protected void RadComboBox3_ItemDataBound(object sender, RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e)
{
    DataRowView dataSourceRow = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
    e.Item.Text = dataSourceRow[0] + " " + dataSourceRow[1];
}

And here is the ASPX,

<telerik:RadComboBox Width="200px" DropDownWidth="270px" Height="100px" ID="RadComboBox3" HighlightTemplatedItems="true" DataValueField="LastName" MarkFirstMatch="false" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="RadComboBox3_ItemDataBound" >
<HeaderTemplate>
    <table style="width: 250px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 50px;">
                First Name</td>
            <td style="width: 200px;">
                Last Name</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
    <table style="width: 250px;" class="comboTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 50px;">
                <div class='comboItem'>
                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FirstName")%>
                </div>
            </td>
            <td style="width: 200px;">
                <div class='comboItem'>
                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LastName")%>
                </div>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Well, personally I accomplish that without the need to define both entries as Templates. Simply DataBind combo without specifying DataTextField, then use the ItemDataBound as Shinu suggested.

Hope this helps.
