Hello, I'm configuring a combo using the MVC helper:
@(Html.Infragistics().ComboFor(m => m.LocalAgent) .ID("comboTest") .TextKey("Info") .ValueKey("Description") .FilterExprUrlKey("value") .FilteringType(ComboFilteringType.Remote) .DataSource("http://localhost/API/GetAgents") .Render())
When the view it's rendered the combo doesn't show the value from model. Why isn't it shown? I also have seen that the combo does this ajax request to the server which doesn't have either:
http://localhost/API/GetAgents?textKey=Info&valueKey=Description&toLower=1&compact=1&_=1385716844622
Why is this request made without value?
Another question is: is there a way to pass the params to the request different to oData?.
Thanks!
Hello anbalher,
In this scenario the combo is only going to display the value coming from the model as long as it is matched with a corresponding value in the set datasource. The DataSource property used in this case is looking for a local object as the combo's datasource, and as the call is failing the model data is not displayed.
Therefore I suggest using the DataSourceUrl option to ensure that the combo is bound correctly.
