[Solved] radcombobox databinding

[Abiri Masoni]

Hello all!

i have the following rad controls on my page.

<

 

 

rad:RadTextBox ID="txtOtherNames" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.OtherNames") %>'>

 

 

 

</rad:RadTextBox>

 

　

<

 

 

rad:RadComboBox ID="txtGender" runat="server" value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Gender") %>' >

 

 

 

<Items>

 

 

 

<rad:RadComboBoxItem ID="RadComboBoxItem1" runat="server" Text="Male" Value="M" />

 

 

 

<rad:RadComboBoxItem ID="RadComboBoxItem2" runat="server" Text="Female" Value="F" />

 

 

 

</Items>

 

 

 

</rad:RadComboBox>

 

　

<

 

 

rad:RadDatePicker ID="txtDOB" runat="server" SelectedDate='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Dob") %>'>

 

 

 

</rad:RadDatePicker>

 

 

 

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="txtDOBValidator" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtDOB"

 

 

 

Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="<div>Date expected</div>" />

 

<

 

 

rad:RadComboBox ID="txtGuardian" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.GuardianId") %>'>

 

 

 

</rad:RadComboBox>

 

The textbox and date picker work correctly ie. are binding but the comboboxes are not adjusting according to the records in the table.

What shld i use in the

='

 

 

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.GuardianId") %>' clause.

 

　

thnx so much

Hello Abiri Masoni,

You should set the AllowCustomText property of the txtGuardian RadComboBox to true in order to make this work, because by default you cannot set the Text property to an arbitrary text unless there is an existing Item with the same text.
