The feature request is the following:

1.  Add an Attribute to the RadComboBox, RadDropdownList (and any other controls that suffer from this issue).

2. Let's call the Attribute   --   AppendIfSelectedValueMissing.

3. This attribute would be a boolean (True / False).  Default is FALSE.

4. If AppendIfSelectedValueMissing=True  then when the value of record is being Databound to a RadComboBox, RadDropDownList, etc.  A check (or Try/Catch) would occur to ensure that the Value exists in the DataSourceList and if it does NOT exist in the list then the SelectedValue would be Appended to the List.  Thus, eliminating the "Selection out of range, Parameter, Value" error.

This occur often because some lists get changed over time; however, the historical data may have a value that is no longer on the list -- thus triggering the error.

For example, let's say we ask for a user's Favorite Color.  Our original list was:
Red, Green, Blue

but for some reason -- management, changing user requirements, etc. the new list is

Red, Orange, Blue

Now, if we DataBind a RadComboBox to a historical record with Green as value, we get the "Selection Out of Range" errror.

What I am proposing is -- if we set the AppendIfSelectedValueMissing = True then 
databinding to a historical record with Green would have the following occur.

List from DB ---   Red, Orange, Blue
SelectedValue --    Green
AppendIfSelectedValueMissing
New List for Ctrl --  Red, Orange, Blue, Green

Thus, the error goes away, the historical data can stay the way it is and the lists can adjust their choices over time.

All good for everyone!!!

Thanks for your consideration. 

MarkFirstMatch and Filter functionalities are not supported when checkboxes are enabled, as specified in the Checkbox Support help article. If you remove these two functionalities, the Check All checkbox works as expected.


I want to have on the MarkFirstMatch and the filter on and the "all" to be shown.
