    [CLOSED] Assigning ComboBox Value

    Hi
    ComboBox1.Value = "some value" works fine when values are hard-coded. When derived from a DataSource assigning the value appears to fail. Please see the following basic Northwind sample.

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            if (!X.IsAjaxRequest)
            {
                ComboBox1.Value = "5";
            }
    }
    <asp:SqlDataSource 
        ID="SqlDataSource1" 
        runat="server" 
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>"
        SelectCommand="
        SELECT 
            [EmployeeID], 
            [LastName]
        FROM [Employees]"
        />
    
    
    <ext:Store ID="Store1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
        <Model>
            <ext:Model ID="Model1" runat="server" IDProperty="EmployeeID">
                <Fields>
                    <ext:ModelField Name="EmployeeID" />
                    <ext:ModelField Name="LastName" />
                </Fields>
            </ext:Model>
        </Model>
    </ext:Store>
    
    
    <ext:ComboBox 
        ID="ComboBox1" 
        runat="server" 
        StoreID="Store1" 
        DisplayField="LastName"
        ValueField="EmployeeID">
    </ext:ComboBox>

    Hi,

    You should apply an integer value, not a string one.
    ComboBox1.Value = 5;
    because EmployeeID has integer type.

    Haha - that's what you get when looking at code when you're too tired. Thanks Daniil (you can close),

    Actually there is a problem here ... using the example below if you click the button without making a selection from the combobox you will get an incorrect value (retrieving 'text' rather than 'value'). If you make a selection on the combobox and then click the button it works fine.

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!X.IsAjaxRequest)
        {
            ComboBox1.Value = 6;
        }
    }
    
    protected void Button_Click(object sender, DirectEventArgs e)
    {
        X.Msg.Alert("ComboBox1 Value", "Combo Value: " + ComboBox1.SelectedItem.Value).Show();
    }

    <asp:SqlDataSource 
        ID="SqlDataSource1" 
        runat="server" 
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>"
        SelectCommand="
        SELECT 
            [EmployeeID], 
            [LastName]
        FROM [Employees]"
        />
    
    
    <ext:Store ID="Store1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
        <Model>
            <ext:Model ID="Model1" runat="server">
                <Fields>
                    <ext:ModelField Name="EmployeeID" />
                    <ext:ModelField Name="LastName" />
                </Fields>
            </ext:Model>
        </Model>
    </ext:Store>
    
    
    <ext:ComboBox 
        ID="ComboBox1" 
        runat="server" 
        StoreID="Store1" 
        DisplayField="LastName"
        ValueField="EmployeeID">
    </ext:ComboBox>
    
    
    <ext:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click Me">
        <DirectEvents>
            <Click OnEvent="Button_Click" />
        </DirectEvents>
    </ext:Button>

    Confirmed.

    Please populate the ComboBox SelectedItems collection instead of setting up its Value.

    Example
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!X.IsAjaxRequest)
        {
            ComboBox1.SelectedItems.Add(new Ext.Net.ListItem()
            {
                CustomConfig =
                {
                    new ConfigItem("value", "6", ParameterMode.Raw)
                }
            });
        }
    }
