Populate Jquery ComboBox from Controller

[Joshua]

How can I populate this combobox with items from the controller onPage Load? The following is not working

 

<input id="CodeList" placeholder="Select" style="width: 100%;" />

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#CodeList").kendoComboBox({
            index: 0,
            dataTextField: "text",
            dataValueField: "value",
            filter: "contains",
            dataSource: {

                 transport: {

                        read: {

                            dataType: "json",

                            url: '@Url.Action("CompanyIDChanged", "Login")',

                         }

               }

            }
        });
    });
</script>

 

Controller:

Function LoanCodeCombo() As ActionResult
            Dim CodeList= New LoginModel With {.Items = {
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = ""},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "A"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "B"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "C"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "S"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "T"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "U"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "7"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "8"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "9"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "0"}
                }
            }
            Return Json(CodeList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)
        End Function

Hi Joshua,

The initialization of the Combobox seems correct, however, I see that the URL provided for the read action is different than the name of the action method returning the data. 

<input id="CodeList" placeholder="Select" style="width: 100%;" />

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#CodeList").kendoComboBox({
            index: 0,
            dataTextField: "text",
            dataValueField: "value",
            filter: "contains",
            dataSource: {

                 transport: {

                        read: {

                            dataType: "json",

                            url: '@Url.Action("CompanyIDChanged", "Login")',

                         }

               }

            }
        });
    });
</script>

 

Controller:

Function LoanCodeCombo() As ActionResult
            Dim CodeList= New LoginModel With {.Items = {
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = ""},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "A"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "B"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "C"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "S"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "T"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "U"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "7"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "8"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "9"},
                New SelectListItem() With {.Text = "0"}
                }
            }
            Return Json(CodeList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)
        End Function

Make sure that the Combobox DataSource actually makes a request to the correct endpoint to fetch the data.

I have also created a sample ASP.NET Core application, based on the provided details for you to review.

Let me know if the above helps resolve the issue.
