[Solved] How to bind selected item/value to a model property?

[Brady]

The standard MVC helper DropDownFor takes a model property lambda, and the selection of the dropdown is bound to this model property.  In the Telerik ComboBox I can only find a BinbTo method, which only concerns binding of the list items, not the selected value.  How do I achieve binding of the selected value?

var body = $('#ddlBodyStyle'+catID).data('tDropDownList');

            body.dataBind(data);  

            body.select(0);

var body = $('#ddlBodyStyle'+catID).data('tDropDownList');

            body.dataBind(data);  

            body.select(0);

var body = $('#ddlBodyStyle'+catID).data('tDropDownList');

            body.dataBind(data);  

            body.select(0);

var body = $('#ddlBodyStyle'+catID).data('tDropDownList');
            body.dataBind(data);
            body.select(0);

var body = $('#ddlBodyStyle'+catID).data('tDropDownList');

            body.dataBind(data);  

            body.select(0);

var body = $('#ddlBodyStyle'+catID).data('tDropDownList');

            body.dataBind(data);  

            body.select(0);

You could use the select method after binding it, i use the select with the index.
var body = $('#test').data('tDropDownList');
            body.dataBind(data);  
            body.select(0);

Thanks al, but all I had to do was use the Telerik 'ComboBoxFor'.  I didn't see this in the help example, and Intellisense is a little murky right now, so I just thought it didn't exist.
