RadMultiSelect add a selection on load.

[Jay]

Something like what I have done with DropDownLists for an eternity:

if (RadMultiSelect1.Items.FindChildByValue("value") != null)
{
            RadMultiSelect1.Items.FindChildByValue("value").Selected = true;
}

Just looking to auto add the logged in user as already selected on page_load.

The above doesn't seem to work.

And as usual, I did dig through the documentation and DuckDuckGo it.

Hello Jay,

In order to select an item, you should add its Value to the .Value property of the MultiSelect. Keep in mind that the .Value property is of type array of objects and not a simple string:

• RadMultiSelectCalendar.Value = new[] { informationString };
