Populate ComboBox with 2 values

[Filleau]

I'm searching a simple way to add 2 value in an combo box.

I work with VB and I need to populate it with "Name" and "Phone"
Only the Name need to be listed in the Combo.

I try 

  Dim item1 As New RadComboBoxItem()
      item1.Text = "Anthony"
      item1.Value = "112"
      RadComboBox1.Items.Add(item1)
      item1.Text = "Marc"
      item1.Value = "134"
      RadComboBox1.Items.Add(item1)

But it don't work (It display Marc twice)

My first idea was :
 RadComboBox1.Items.Add("Anthony","112)
 RadComboBox1.Items.Add("Marc","134)

But I can't do that

Who can help me ?

Second thing, how then to sort the combo on Name ?

Thanks

Filleau,

I don't know what the VB equivalent is, but in C# you'd have to say...

RadComboBoxItem itm = new RadComboBoxItem()
itm.Text = "Anthony";
itm.Value = "112"
RadComboBox1.Items.Add(itm);
itm = new RadComboBoxItem()
itm.Text = "Marc";
itm.Value = "134"
RadComboBox1.Items.Add(itm);

Hope this helps.

Hi Filleau,

Please find below your modified code snippet that works as expected.

Imports Telerik.Web.UI

Partial Class Default2
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            RadComboBox1.Sort = RadComboBoxSort.Ascending
            BindCombo()
            RadComboBox1.SortItems()
        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub BindCombo()
        Dim item1 As New RadComboBoxItem()
        item1.Text = "Anthony"
        item1.Value = "112"
        RadComboBox1.Items.Add(item1)

        Dim item2 As New RadComboBoxItem()
        item2.Text = "Marc"
        item2.Value = "134"
        RadComboBox1.Items.Add(item2)
    End Sub
End Class

In addition, you can take a look at our new Sorting example.

Yeah ! This is what I want do do.

Except I have to do it in a loop so I can't do it like this.

Private Sub BindCombo()

    Dim DirEntry As DirectoryEntry
    For Each result As SearchResult In searcher.FindAll
           Dim Item1 as New RadComboBoxItem()
           DirEntry = result.GetDirectoryEntry
           item1.text = DirEntry.Properties("givenName").Value)
           item1.value = DirEntry.Properties("TelephoneNumber").Value)
    Next
End Sub

What is the best way ? :
1/ Have a Dim Item1 as New RadComboBoxItem() in my loop ?
2/ Declare a array. something like Dim  item(4) as RadComboBoxItem ?

Thanks

This way seem to work well, but I'm surprise to declare the same var many time.

Private Sub BindCombo()

    Dim DirEntry As DirectoryEntry
    For Each result As SearchResult In searcher.FindAll
           Dim Item1 as New RadComboBoxItem()
           DirEntry = result.GetDirectoryEntry
           item1.text = DirEntry.Properties("givenName").Value)
           item1.value = DirEntry.Properties("TelephoneNumber").Value)
    Next
End Sub

But this code don't work

RadComboBox1.Sort = RadComboBoxSort.Ascending

BindCombo()

RadComboBox1.SortItems()

Sort is not a member of 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox'

Hi Filleau,

This problem is related to the version of the Telerik.Web.UI that you use.

The sorting functionality is implemented in "Futures" Q2 2008 version - 2008.2.708 which you can download from your account and it is included in our official Q2 release which will be ready for download by the end of the week.
