    Hi

    Using a Multicolumn Combobox with OpenAccess and trying to insert a blank item - as need to have the option of not selecting any item from the list - tried various solutions/posts with no success - code for combobox as below

    <telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox1" Height="190px" Width="100%"
        MarkFirstMatch="true" DataSourceID="OpenAccessLinqDataSource1" EnableLoadOnDemand="true"
        HighlightTemplatedItems="true" DataValueField="PartID" DataTextField="PartNumber"
        AppendDataBoundItems="True" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("PartID") %>' ItemsPerRequest="10"
        EnableVirtualScrolling="True" Filter="Contains" OnSelectedIndexChanged="RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged"
        AutoPostBack="True">
        <HeaderTemplate>
            <ul>
                <li class="col1">Part Number</li>
                <li class="col2">Part Description</li>
            </ul>
        </HeaderTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
            <ul>
                <li class="col1">
                    <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "PartNumber")%>
                </li>
                <li class="col2">
                    <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "PartDescription")%></li>
            </ul>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </telerik:RadComboBox>

    Tried online demo http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/combobox-insert-default-item-when-databinding.html 

    (Using vb)

    Thanks

    Hello,

    In this case I would suggest using the RadComboBox default item. Here you may find more information and some sample code.
