Hello Rahul,

If you are passing the HTML content in the DataTextField property, then it will always show the HTML content in the RadComboBox when selected because the RadComboBox uses a textbox to display it's text property. Is that what you are doing, even when using the ItemTemplate?

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply,We used this code for RadCombo box: 
  <telerik:RadComboBox ID="radTest" CausesValidation="false" runat="server" Skin="Office2007" SkinsPath="~/RadControls/ComboBox/Skins" Width="200px" HighlightTemplatedItems="true" DropDownWidth="300" Visible="false" >
                              <ItemTemplate>
                                    <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "TextValue") %>
                             </ItemTemplate>
 </telerik:RadComboBox>

and In Code behind we bind dataset to this combo,So When I open dropdown then All text displayed the text with rendered HTML
but as I close the dropdown then Selected text display with all HTML tags,Please suggest me what to do?
               Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Rahul Khinvasara,

I am afraid that by default RadComboBox encodes the text displayed in the input, so there is no option to see html in it.
If you populate the control with data that contains html tags, and you set the ValidateRequest property of the Page to "false" - you will see these tags in the input but they will look like a text string.
I made a simplified example in order to show you what happens in this case.

Best wishes,
