[Solved] Help! SelectedValue not working

[Bob]

 have a simple rad ComboBox with a value field and a text field.  I bind the combobox to a data source and this works fine.  Now I  want to highlight the selectedvalue.  But I cannot get this to work.  Here is my code:

<Telerik:radComboBox id="cbPolicyAccountValueSource"

DataTextField="value"

DataValueField="key"

runat="server">

</Telerik:radComboBox>

cbPolicyAccountValueSource.DataSource = LifePolicyAccountValue.PolicyAccountValueSources

cbPolicyAccountValueSource.DataBind()

Dim PolicyAccountValueSourceEnumId As Object = DataBinder.Eval(DataItem, "PolicyAccountValueSourceEnumId")

cbPolicyAccountValueSource.SelectedValue = CInt(PolicyAccountValueSourceEnumId)

If I run in debug mode, the above field (PolicyAccountValueSourceEnumId) has the selected value I want the combobox to be selected.  But it is not.  No item is selected.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

I suggest that you try the following:

• Find the item by Value using the FindItemByValue method
• Select the item by setting its Selected property to true

Hope this helps.

Can you provide an example?  I did a search and nothing useful came back.

Hello Bob,

I prepared a small and running project for you. Attached, please find the files. Download them and give them a go.

Hope this helps.

I have narrowed down the problem to using the RadComboBox on a user control.  I can set the selectedvalue if the radComboBox is on a web page.  But I am using my radComboBox on a user control that displays when the Edit button on a RadGrid is clicked.  I tried your example and it still did not work when I use it in the user control.   Your example does work on a web page. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

Can you isolate the problem in a small and running project and attach the files to a new support thread? We will test it locally and try to locate the source of the problem. I believe that this would be the best way to proceed.
