WebServiceSetting supports Page Method calls

[Joel Brom]

<WebServiceSettings Method="PageMethods.LoadCombo" Path="Admin.aspx.cs" />

I have coded my web method in the code behind rather than into an asmx.  I get Server Method 'PageMethods.LoadCombo' failed. when clicking on the dropdown arrow.
I created a test button that successfully executes the PageMethod, however, I do not want my users to have to click on another control.

Must I create a Web Service for LoadOnDemand to function when the populating the RCB?

Hi Joel Brom,

We have an example showing RadComboBox loading on demand from a Page Method. Please compare the implementation to yours.

I can get the Page Method working when the user is first looking for something in the Combobox, but can I still use this methodology when I put the form in "Edit" mode?  Meaning, I've gone to the database, retrieved my "Order" object and now I'm going to populate the textboxes and comboboxes on the page.  But if one of my comboboxes is using this lazy loading, I won't be able to pre-select the value that was saved for that order, correct?  Is there a decent work around?

thanks

Hi mark baer,

Yes, there is a decent workaround, shown in this demo.

I hope it helps.
