Bind RadControl ComboBox to Module.

Posted by Community Admin on 30-May-2012 00:00

This should be pretty straight forward but for what ever reason, I can't get it to work.
This is my code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

var dynamicModuleManagerDropdown = DynamicModuleManager.GetManager();

Type myLocationType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.myLocations.myLocation");

// This is how we get the collection of ContentPage items

var mylocations = dynamicModuleManagerDropdown.GetDataItems(myLocationType).Where(i => i.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live && i.Visible ==

true);

RadComboBoxLocation.DataSource = mylocations;

RadComboBoxLocation.DataBind();

On my aspx page I have a drop down list of locations, but when I select one of the locations from the list it presents me with:

Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.myLocations.myLocation

Instead of the item I have selected, as I say, this is probably a really simple thing I am missing.
Here is my aspx page:

<telerik:RadComboBox

ID="RadComboBoxLocation"

runat="server"

Height="200px"

Width="200px"

DropDownWidth="298px"

EmptyMessage="Select a location"

HighlightTemplatedItems="true"

EnableLoadOnDemand="true"

DataValueField="nameOfCourt"

>

<HeaderTemplate>

<table style="width: 275px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td style="width: 177px;">

Location name</td>

</tr>

</table>

</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<div class="ddlocations">

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "nameOfLocation")%>

</div>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

Thanks in advance.

Cancel that, it really was a simple solution. Forgot to give DataValueField and DataTextField a value!
