My intent is to update the second RadComboBox from the xmldatasource but I foudn the Databind() call wasnt working. I commented out that code and tried a simpler population approach (in case theres a problem with my Xpath to the xmldatasource) but its still not working. I have seen references in the forum to needing to set these properties in the RadComboBox
RegisterWithScriptManager="false"
EnableClientScriptEvaluation="true"
but it hasnt succeeded. What mistake am I making?
Also, why isnt the source code for the webservices files provided with the examples on using webservice with RadXmlHttpPanel?
I couldnt find an example which showed the webservice method required to populate a RadComboBox using RadXmlHttpPanel.
Thanks for any assistance

You can find the webservice code in your RadControls install directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2009\Live Demos\App_Code)...it would be superhandy for them to show it also on the demos site though.
Could you eliminate the XmlHttpPanel entirely for this scenario though?

In your SetValue could you just call the OnClientItemsRequesting for the combo2 and pull what you need from the webservice? It would eliminate the need for the extra control wrapper, and populating the combo via webservice is SUPER slick (thanks telerik :)

Hi chrispo,
I tested the following code with the latest DLL (2009.3 1314) and everything seems to be working OK. The list of values is shown in the ComboBox and I can easily select an item.
.aspx
.cs
Could you please open a new support ticket and send us a fully running project that demonstrates the issue? Once we have a closer look on the problem, we can provide an adequate solution.
Kind regards,
