get chosen value from Client template back to server

[Fit2Page]

Hi,

 

How could one get the selected value from a radsearchbox client template back to the server code?

Is there any other method than sending it in a url querystring?

 

Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc,

Depending on whether you are trying to send selected values (assuming selection from your description) or the search context of the component, the implementation may vary.

In the case of search context, you can use AJAX for sending data to the server. For instance, using the OnClientSearch you can get the context you're searching for, then call the ajaxRequest(arguments) method of RadAjaxManager to send the data to the server. You can also pass more arguments to this method as we have instructed here: Pass More than one Argument

Here is an example of utilizing the ClientSearch event: Client-side Templates

You can also set the values to a hidden field using the OnClientSearch event. Those will be accessible on the server during a PostBack.
