Getting undefined values when using XML datasource

[Patrick]

Hi, I'm trying to populate a dropdown list using XML that was retrieved from a web service which I pass two arguments to. The list seems to be displaying the right number of items, however they all appear as "undefined". Here is my code:

$("#dropdownbox").kendoDropDownList({

    dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({

        dataTextField: "name",

        dataValueField: "id",                       

        transport: {

            read: {

                url: "WebService.asmx/GetDates",

                data: {

                    startDate: "2010/10/20",

                    endDate: "2012/10/20"

                }   

            }

        },

        schema: {

            type: "xml",

            data: "NewDataSet/dates",

            model: {

                fields: {

                    building_name: "name/text()",

                    building_id: "id/text()"

                }

            }

        }

 

    })                       

});

Here is the XML that is returned by the web service:

<NewDataSet>

    <dates>

        <id>4</id>

        <name>TestItem1</name>

    </dates>

    <dates>

        <id>5</id>

        <name>TestItem2</name>

    </dates>

</NewDataSet>

Any help would be appreciated!

Nevermind I fixed it. I Had the dataTextField and dataValueField nested under datasource, dumb mistake. Here is the working code:

$("#dropdownbox").kendoDropDownList({

    dataTextField: "name",

    dataValueField: "id",            

    dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({       

        transport: {

            read: {

                url: "WebService.asmx/GetDates",

                data: {

                    startDate: "2010/10/20",

                    endDate: "2012/10/20"

                } 

            }

        },

        schema: {

            type: "xml",

            data: "NewDataSet/dates",

            model: {

                fields: {

                    building_name: "name/text()",

                    building_id: "id/text()"

                }

            }

        }

   

    })                     

});
