Problem with ComboBox with Image and Ajax

[lupotana]

Hi,
I'm a RadComboBox with Image and Text.

For popolate the combo I use this method.

foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
    RadComboBoxItem item = new RadComboBoxItem(dr[descriptionColumn].ToString(), dr[codeColumn].ToString());
        item.ImageUrl = string.Format("{0}/{1}.png", pathFolder, dr[imageColumn].ToString());
        combo.Items.Add(item);
}

It's all right, I see the image.

When I insert my combo in an UpdatePanel or RadAjaxPanel I don't view the image but an only red cross.

I suppose that Ajax doesn't succeed to open a phisical file.

Is it right? Is not possibile use ComboBox with image in an Ajax scenario ?

Thanks,
Marco

Hello lupotana,

I've tested your case with an RadAjaxPanel. Here's the code:

protected void RadComboBox1_ItemsRequested(object o, RadComboBoxItemsRequestedEventArgs e)
    {
        RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)o;
        string pathFolder = "~/Images";
        SqlConnection connection =
               new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NorthwindConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
        SqlCommand selectCommand =
            new SqlCommand(@" SELECT * FROM Employees", connection);
        connection.Open();
        SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(selectCommand);
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        adapter.Fill(dt);
        connection.Close();
        foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
        {
            RadComboBoxItem item = new RadComboBoxItem();
            item.Text = row["FirstName"].ToString() + " " + row["LastName"].ToString();
            item.Value = row["EmployeeID"].ToString();
            item.ImageUrl = string.Format("{0}/{1}.png", pathFolder, row["LastName"].ToString());
            combo.Items.Add(item);
        }
    }

Find the full code in the attached .zip file.

Hope this helps.
