RadComboBox gives empty value but asp:dropdownlist works!

[SK]

I am dynamically loading the radcombobox in my program and getting emptyvalue when quering SelectedValue. This is working just fine with asp.net dropdownbox:

In the aspx file I have:

<asp:Repeater ID="rptTI" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
<ItemTemplate>
     <telerik:RadCombobox ID="ddlPay"  runat="server" AutoPostBack="False" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>

in the cs file I have in the itemdatabound of the repeater:

protected void OnItemDataBound(Object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
  DropDownList ddlPay = ((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlPay"));
  ddlPay.DataSource = payrollDataView;
  ddlPay.DataTextField = "value";
  ddlPay.DataValueField = "id";
  ddlPay.DataBind();
}

Now when I save the value I am doing ddlPay.SelectedValue and it gives empty string.

It is interesting to see if I change the RadCombobox to asp:DropDownList, it works just fine!
