More information:  I found the problem to be when the radTextbox is set to multiline.  It works for a single line, but multiline set to true causes it to not display anything. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the following line of code which works for a standard Windows textbox, but not for a radTextbox, which sets DataBindings at run-time (via a business object):

radTxtDesc.DataBindings.Add(

"Text", this.ProTemp.Elements, "Desc");

I do not get an error at runtime, but the radTextbox shows nothing.  I even set the NullText property, but it doesn't show up either.   I am using the textbox within the new DataRepeater ItemTemplate which is part of the Visual Basic Powerpack 3.0.  And as mentioned, the standard windows textbox works, but I really would like to be able to use the radTextbox instead of standard Windows textbox due to the extra features the radTextbox has which I really need.  Any thoughts?

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for reporting the issue, however, I cannot reproduce it using the following code:

public partial class Form1 : Form 
    { 
        public Form1() 
        { 
            InitializeComponent(); 
        } 
 
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            BusinessObject b = new BusinessObject(); 
            b.S = "text text text text text text text text text text"
            this.radTextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", b, "S"); 
        } 
    } 
 
    public class BusinessObject 
    { 
        string s; 
 
        public string S 
        { 
            get { return s; } 
            set { s = value; } 
        } 
         
    } 

Please send us a sample project or a code snippet so we can reproduce the issue. I have tested the code with our latest release.

If you are not using our latest release, I suggest that you upgrade to it since there are many improvements and bug fixes that justify the time. We will answer the questions you may encounter during the upgrade.

Hello,

regarding this issue, I was trying to figure out a way to implement a data repeater similar to that on asp.net with telerik controls but have had no luck so far, is there a way to accomplish that? I have seen the component on the "visual basic power pack" but wondering whether telerik has itw onw solution/control (or at least in mind to have it in the future) .

Thanks.

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for your question.

I am afraid we have not yet considered implementing a data repeater control, since there has been no demand for it until now. If more people request it we will take appropriate action.

However, any suggestions for such a control are most welcome.
What extra features would you like to see in a RadDataRepeater control?

Please write back if you have other questions.

Sincerely yours,
Victor

Hello,

That Visual Power packs library works decently but lacks ability for customization. For instance, you cannot change the border of the control nor the separator between data items. So, something like that but customizable would be great.

Thank you.

I am looking to buy a component suite to use with vb2008 and really like what I have seen so far from Telerik. I would also like to see a data repeater but I guess if the power pack control will do the job I can use that. It would be nice to have everything Telerik though for consistent theming etc.


Please add me to the list of people keen to see a Telerik data repeater

Hello Tony,

Thank you for the feedback.

The DataRepeater that comes with VisualBasic.PowerPacks can be used in a combination with our RadControls for WinForms. I am attaching an example which demonstrates such usage.

As to the consistent theming, could you please share more details of your experience? This will allow us to focus our theming efforts into the right direction.

Kind regards,
Nikolay
