Only first item gets selected always if text of the items are duplicates

[Raghavendra]

Hi,

Let us say our list is as follows:

1. Raghu
2. Ram
3. Gandhi
4. Raghu

Though the user selects the 4th Raghu, the selected item that is being sent to the server is the 1st Raghu!

I remember this being mentioned as a known issue somewhere in the forum. However, in my case, there is no way to actually ensure that the text of the item is going to be unique because the list being shown actually is a list of persons. This is really a deal breaker for me!

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Raghu

Hello Raghavendra,

If you are having Radcombobx Items with same text without unique values, this behavior is expected. So please make sure that the Items having different values even if the Text are similar.

aspx:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server"  onselectedindexchanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true" >
 <Items>
 <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Text1" Value="1" />
 <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Text2" Value="2" />
 <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Text3" Value="3" />
 <telerik:RadComboBoxItem Text="Text1" Value="4" />
 </Items>
 </telerik:RadComboBox>

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hmmm... Problem with the query was returning same ID value for all the rows. Hence the wrong selection! Fixed now.
