[Solved] How to bind the selected item of the comboBox to my model?

[Julien]

Hi,

I'm using for the first time telerik for my asp.net mvc forms.

I've a question about how to bind it to my model.

I've no problem to bind the comboBox to the list which contains all values, but I can't find how I can bind the selected id to one property of my model.

In camparison, with the dropDownList , I was using the 
@Html.DropDownListFor(x=>x.MyProperty, ...)

But here I can't find any method like this, what is the correct way?

Hello Julien,

 
I will suggest you use:

@Html.Telerik().DropDownListFor(x=>x.MyProperty)

This will get the value of the MyProperty and will set the selected item.

Okay, but this will generate me only a dropdown list no? I need to have the comboBox like it works here http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/combobox 

And I can't see how to specify which values can be used in the combo box

Hello Julien,

 
In that case you will need to use ComboBoxFor:

@(Html.Telerik().ComboBoxFor(x=>x.MyProperty)
      .BindTo(data)
)

Thanks so much,

Hi Georgi,
 
Your snippet works only so long as the control does not have a name. However, if you specify a control name, it appears to stop working:

@(Html.Telerik().ComboBoxFor(x=>x.MyProperty)
       .Name("myName")
       .BindTo(data)
 )

Any suggestions?
