RadComboBox Context

[Brian Mains]

Hello,

I have a WCF service.  On the client, I'm binding RadComboBox via web service.  I tap into ItemRequesting, and I do on the client:

function rcb_ItemsRequesting(sender, e) {
    var context = e.get_context();

    context["A"] = 5;
    context["B"] = 4;
    context["RelativeDate"] = null;
}

I have this web service:

[OperationContract]
public RadComboBoxData Get(RadComboBoxContext context)
{
    //context doesn't have anything
}

As my comment says, my context property has a zero count, the values aren't getting passed along.  I'm using 2008.3.1125.35.

Thanks.

Hi Brian Mains,

In older releases the built-in RadComboBox context didn't work as we didn't pass the context as dictionary which WCF could parse. We fixed this problem in the later versions so I suggest that you try with the latest one.

So is there any other alternative, because unless you are giving me a free upgrade, that's not an option?  Any other way to bind, just have my own web service and set the data source in the client API??????  Would using web services be better to address this?????

I really need to bind on the client, and any alternative will work, though ItemsRequested server-side event isn't an option, unless there is a way to refresh it on the client, because I need the list to change based on conditions on the data being loaded.

Thanks.

Or, can the other syntax:

public RadComboBoxItemData[] GetData(object context)

work with WCF, or work period?

Hi Brian Mains,

Please check this code library for the older versions.
It should work as expected.

Could you tell me if this works with my current edition or not, My version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll is: 2012.2.815.40.

Please confirm.

Hello Mostafa,

I noticed that you had submitted another ticket on the same matter, which I had already replied. I would like to ask you to continue our conversation in the other thread, in order to avoid duplication.

Thanks.
