    I need one more value to be added but i am not sure that ComboBox supports that.

    e.g. i have the following columns in the DB:

    ID, Title, Price

    I need to display the Title but to get the selected ID and Price.

    Hi,

    You can add custom Attribute of RadComboBoxItem in order to store the 'Price', so that you can retrieve the value in SelectedIndexChanged event.

    C#:
     
    protected void RadComboBox1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e)   
    {   
        DataRowView dataSourceRow = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;   
        //set custom attributes from the datasource:   
        e.Item.Attributes["Price"] = dataSourceRow["Price"].ToString();   
    }   
    protected void RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)   
    {  
        String ID = e.Text;   
        String Price = RadComboBox1.SelectedItem.Attributes["Price"]; 
    }

    I try using this but change it a little bit since I'm using Vb.net but failed.. It keep saying that "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.".

    Is there something I'm missing or need to add?

    Hello Emi,

    Here is the VB version of the code.
    VB:
    Protected Sub RadComboBox1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemEventArgs)
        Dim dataSourceRow As DataRowView = DirectCast(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)
        e.Item.Attributes("Price") = dataSourceRow("Price").ToString()
    End Sub
     
    Protected Sub RadComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(o As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs)
        Dim ID As [String] = e.Text
        Dim Price As [String] = RadComboBox1.SelectedItem.Attributes("Price")
    End Sub

    Thanks,
    Shinu.
