RadComboBox ajax client side encoding

[Jan]

Im facing a problem with encoding of RadComboBox.


Before postback in Viewstate I have: 


 

  ctl00_plhBody_ctrRegistration_cbBoss_ClientState:{"logEntries":[],"value":"20","text":"Андреев","enabled":true}

And after postback there is:


 

  {"logEntries":[],"value":"20","text":"&#1040;&#1085;&#1076;&#1088;&#1077;&#1077;&#1074;","enabled":true}<br>

And then application crashes. Its in updatePanel, and unfortunately I dont have error message (its on productioin right now and Ive got limited access to logs).


Thanks for any suggestions

Hello Jan,

Indeed there is something wrong with the character encoding, however we are currently unsure whether it is a problem of the control - an input element exhibits similar behavior as well.

What is the charset of your page?

Kind regards,

Hello,

Thanks for reply.

<meta charset="UTF-8">

Hi Jan,

Thank you for the clarification.

I created a simple page, which has its ResponseEncoding page directive property set to 'utf-8', where RadComboBox works as expected. I tested with the latest version of Telerik.Web.UI in ASP.NET 4.0 (with 4.0 builds of TWU) and 3.5 (with 3.5 builds of TWU).

Can you please run the attached page on your side and let me know if you can break it? What is different in your setup?

Best wishes,
