    Hi,

    Whenever I bind my radcomboxbox with a table in the dataset, the SelectedIndex Changed event gets fired automatically, causing exceptions in my winform, since I'm writing the SelectedIndex Changed event to retrieve some more data from the DB based on the value of the item selected in the radcombo box.

    The code I have written is as below:

    DataSet mydataset = helperObj.GetData();
    radcombobox1.DataSource = mydataset.Tables[0];
    radcombobox1.Text = "Please Select";

    How can I avoid the event from being fired?

    Thanks and Regards,
    Pramod Goutham.

    The only way I found to get around this is subscribe and unsubscribe to the SelectedIndexChanged event programmatically before and after databinding, this way I had control over this event and could circumvent the inbuilt method calls.

    Hi,

    Is this problem solved in the 2009 Q1SP1 release? I am trying to bind a list of custom objects and the SelectedIndexChanged event triggers automatically.

    Best regards.

    I'm having this same issue.  I want to populate a RadGridView, but only after selecting an item from the RadComboBox  I've attempted to remove/add the SelectedIndexChanged event like this:

        Private Sub ddlProtocols_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemDataBoundEventArgs) Handles ddlProtocols.ItemDataBound 
            AddHandler ddlProtocols.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf ddlProtocols_SelectedIndexChanged 
     
            ' My code here for formatting RadComboBoxItem tags
     
            RemoveHandler ddlProtocols.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf ddlProtocols_SelectedIndexChanged 
        End Sub 

    And then populate my RadGridView like this:

        Private Sub ddlProtocols_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlProtocols.SelectedIndexChanged 
            ' My code here for populating the RadGridView
        End Sub 

    But the SelectedIndexChanged continues to fire multiple times before I've selected an item from the RadComboBox.  Any ideas on how I can get this workaround to work?

    Hello southwynd,

    Thank you for writing. You should unsubscribe from the event before the databinging and subscribe after that. Please, refer to the code snippet:
     
    RemoveHandler ddlProtocols.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf ddlProtocols_SelectedIndexChanged  
     
    me.radGridView1.DataSource = table1 
     
    AddHandler ddlProtocols.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf ddlProtocols_SelectedIndexChanged  
     
     

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
