Error when RadComboBox posts back

[Brian Mains]

Hello,

I reload the items within a RadComboBox using the client-side API.  I'm not using the WS load on demand feature, but solely the JS api to add items to the combo.  When the items are refreshed and a postback happens, I'm getting this error below.  When it goes to load the combo client-state, an error occurs.  We are using the last 2009 Q3 version.

Thanks.

Hello Brian Mains,

How are you adding the Items on the client side? Can you please paste here the relevant code?

Kind regards,

Hey,

The only way that you can, by using the client-side API: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/combo_clientsidebasics.html.  I've called trackChanges, and begin to clear the list, then add all of the relevant items.  Please let me know if this should be submitted as a support ticket.

FYI, I use trackChanges for the entire collection, not before and after each item.  Essentially it's doing:

track changes

clear old items

add 30 items to the list

commit changes

Thanks.
