    Hi,

    I have a radcombobox in a form page:
    <head runat="server">
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadScriptManager>
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
            <telerik:RadComboBox ID="cbxProva" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadComboBox>
        </div>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    VB code:

    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            cbxProva = CaricaComuni("LE")
        End Sub

     i want to populate the control with external module

    this is the code in the module:
    Public Function CaricaComuni(ByVal Provincia As String) As RadComboBox
           CaricaComuni = New RadComboBox
           Try
               Dim sql As String
     
               sql = "SELECT IdComune, Comune FROM Sys_Comuni WHERE Provincia = @Provincia AND RecordEliminato = 0 ORDER BY Comune"
     
               Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter(sql, connStr)
               adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@Provincia", SqlDbType.Char).Value = Provincia
               Dim dt As New DataTable()
               adapter.Fill(dt)
     
               CaricaComuni.DataSource = dt
               CaricaComuni.DataTextField = "Comune"
               CaricaComuni.DataValueField = "IdComune"
               CaricaComuni.DataBind()
               CaricaComuni.Items.Insert(0, New RadComboBoxItem("", ""))
     
           Catch ex As Exception
               'MessageBox(ex.Message, ex.StackTrace.Substring(ex.StackTrace.LastIndexOf("\") + 1))
           End Try
       End Function

    When i press the button the debug is good, if i control in debug mode the combox response correctly populate:

    ?cbxProva.Items(1).Text
    "ACQUARICA DEL CAPO"

    But the combobox in the page is empty...

    Why?

    Hi Fabio,

    In order to bind your combobox using custom function as it's in your scenario, you should pass a reference to the existing RadComboBox as an input parameter to this function.

    All the best,
