Icon

To enable icons for the items in the ChipList, set the Icon property to the name of the embedded icon. This option is applied to ChipListItem, therefore, each individual item can have its own icon.

Visit the Web Font Icons - List of Font Icons page and find the icon of your choice then copy its name without the .k-i- prefix.

For example, if the icon is called .k-i-plus-outline the name would be plus-outline.

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadChipList ID="RadChipList1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:ChipListItem runat="server" Icon="plus-outline" Label="plus-outline"></telerik:ChipListItem>
