Populating Server Side Web Service

[FierceMuppet]

I have a set of cascading comboboxes that are working with Web Services without a problem.  I need to have values pre-selected in these comboboxes when the page loads.  I would like to make use of the web services that I use on the client to populate on the server side when the page loads.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

I suggest you use the following code snippet in your Page_Load method:

String Combo1_SelectedVal = ...;
String Combo2_SelectedVal = ...;

LoadRadComboBoxItems1();
RadComboBox1.ClearSelection();
RadComboBox1.SelectedValue = Combo1_SelectedVal;
RadComboBox2.ClearSelection();
LoadRadComboBoxItems2(Combo1_SelectedVal);
RadComboBox2.SelectedValue = Combo2_SelectedVal;

where RadComboBox2 items depend on the selected item of RadComboBox1.

I hope this helps.

I do not see how this helps at all.  The code suggested does not help me populate the combo boxes with a web service.  The code snippet uses a function LoadRadComboBoxItems1 and LoadRadComboBoxItems2.  Where these supposed to be in the snippet?

Hello,

I apologize for not understanding you in the first place.

You can select RadComboBox items when the page loads with JavaScript.

I prepared a small demo project showing this approach.

Please download it and give it a try.
