RadCombobox populating

[kurie]

Hello,
im still new to Rad controls, and what i want to do is very simple, loading the combo box with data, from a table. i can fill in the details perfectly from my code, but when i click the combo box its not dropping down. Im filling it at page load.
please note this is radcontrol but populating using c#.
I have also posted this on VB Code forum , its quite urgent and hope to solve it soon.

I have also posted this on VB Code forum

what are you writing you code in? if you're writing in vb then that's the form you should use. if your writing in c# you should use this form. Cross posting to get a "faster" answer is considered poor etiquette.

Im filling it at page load

is your project using asp.net or win forms for the gui? if it's asp.net then forum855 would be the best place to post the question.

i can fill in the details perfectly from my code

then why change it?

to clairify, when you say Rad controls, you mean M$ VS wizards for GUI controls correct? if so, try to avoid them as much as possible. at most i use them for formatting, but even then it's edge cases. the more you place in markup the less you can debug you code. whether that's stepping through the code using break points or unit tests.

the more you depend on wizards, the more the designer controls you. Instead you want to control the designer. by writing the code you will have an easier time
1. changing the behavior at a future date.
2. explaining to another person what is happening in a given workflow
3. refactoring the code to reduce duplicate code. also known as DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
