A ComboBox is databound via OnRead. It has an initial value, but no data arrives after the first OnRead call. We call Rebind() to fetch data and then it populates, but the component value doesn't show.

Click the button. The ComboBox should show its initial value, but doesn't. A similar scenario worked until version 2.30, when there was no Rebind(), but we set Data directly.

The workaround is to set raise a flag in OnRead and set the value in OnAfterRenderAsync.

@using Telerik.DataSource.Extensions

<TelerikButton OnClick="@BindCombo">Rebind Combo</TelerikButton>

<TelerikComboBox TItem="@ComboItem"
                 TValue="int"
                 @ref="@ComboRef"
                 TextField="Text"
                 ValueField="Id"
                 OnRead="OnComboRead"
                 Width="200px"
                 @bind-Value="@ComboValue">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    string FilterValue { get; set; } = "A";
    int ComboValue { get; set; } = 2;
    bool BindFlag { get; set; }
    bool ShouldResetValue { get; set; }
    IEnumerable<ComboItem> LegacyComboData { get; set; }

    TelerikComboBox<ComboItem, int> ComboRef { get; set; }

    void BindCombo()
    {
        BindFlag = true;
        ComboRef.Rebind();
    }

    protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
    {
        if (ShouldResetValue)
        {
            // comment out the initially set value above to make the following line work
            ComboValue = 2;
            StateHasChanged();
        }

        await base.OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender);
    }

    async Task OnComboRead(ComboBoxReadEventArgs args)
    {
        if (BindFlag)
        {
            var service = new MyService();

            var data = await service.GetComboItem(FilterValue);
            var result = await data.ToDataSourceResultAsync(args.Request);

            args.Data = result.Data;

            //ShouldResetValue = true;
        }
    }

    public class ComboItem
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyService
    {
        public async Task<IEnumerable<ComboItem>> GetComboItem(string code)
        {
            await Task.Delay(300);

            var data = new[]
            {
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 1, Code = "A", Text = "ValueA1" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 2, Code = "A", Text = "ValueA2" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 3, Code = "A", Text = "ValueA3" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 4, Code = "B", Text = "ValueB4" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 5, Code = "B", Text = "ValueB5" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 6, Code = "B", Text = "ValueB6" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 7, Code = "C", Text = "ValueC7" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 8, Code = "C", Text = "ValueC8" },
                    new ComboItem{ Id = 9, Code = "C", Text = "ValueC9" },
                };

            return data.Where(x => x.Code == code).ToList();
        }
    }
}

The ComboBox will not display an initial selected item, if the value is equal to the type's default. Applies to integers, guids, etc.

This used to work until version 2.30.

Here is a REPL test page.

If the value type is nullable, a zero int value will work for initial item selection.

See this REPL:

https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/QmOFQTbW46QegjwX11

Run the program and scroll so that new data will be requested.  The page variable does not change, so I'm not able to request new data from my datasource.

Expected Behavior - In the ComboBox ItemTemplate show the user's email address along with user name

Actual Behavior - Works fine debugging in Visual Studio, however in a published application the browser throws exception and will not display user's email address in the ItemTemplate.

Steps To Reproduce

• Clone and start debugging application
• Navigate to https://localhost:5001/createWeather
• This is a simple form with two ComboBoxes, one for weather data and one for user data
• In debug the ComboBoxes work as expected, each has an ItemTemplate that shows the desired data.
• Stop debugging and publish the applicaiton
• ie -- dotnet publish -o "YOUR DESIRED OUPUT DIRECTORY" -r win-x64 --self-contained
• Navigate to the output directory and run .\BlazorGrid.Server.exe
• In the browser navigate to https://localhost:5001/createWeather
• The page now throws an exception
• Also notice how the user's email address is no longer shown for the User in the comobobox drop down.

Details

Ran across this in a larger application...I have a class that inherits from Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser<Guid> and wanted to display all of my users in a ComboBox with a custom ItemTemplate consisting of the Name and Email.  This works great in debug, however every time I publish/deploy the Email address is not shown.  The example repo is a stripped down version of the larger application reproducing the error.

The application is making an OData call to the backend to retrieve the Users...in the repo we do not goto a database, in the live application we do.  In both instances the user's Email is not shown in the ItemTemplate, even though one can see via the browser's network traffic tab the results from the OData call include the email address for the users.

This issue does not just affect the email property, I was unable to get any of the properties listed on Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser<Guid> to render in a published application in the ItemTemplate for the Combobox. 

Note - all of the properties in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.IdentityUser<Guid> are marked as 'virtual'.  I attempted to re-create this issue with a different class, in the repo I used the WeatherForecast class and created a virtual TemperatureK property...this however worked in debug and release without issue.  One can see this in the OData Weather Forecasts ComboBox on the same page, https://localhost:5001/createWeather.

Issue - Setting the selected element of a combo box inside a form worked in 2.22.0 and no longer works in 2.23.0 

Repo - https://github.com/benhysell/BlazorGridPagingIssue

Steps to Reproduce 

• In the test repo start the application and navigate to https://localhost:5001/updateWeather
• The selected value in the combo box should be the 8th value, "summary 8"
• Stop the application, in BlazorGrid.Client.csproj 
  • Replace <PackageReference Include="Telerik.UI.for.Blazor" Version="2.22.0" />
  • With <PackageReference Include="Telerik.UI.for.Blazor" Version="2.23.0" />
• Do a clean/rebuild to ensure the latest version of Telerik Blazor is being used
• Run the application in a new incognito window and navigate back to https://localhost:5001/updateWeather, notice how nothing is selected in the combo box

Details

This is a contrived example pulled out of a larger application.  Almost all of our combo boxes are backed by OData calls.  When we 'create or POST' an element the first time we load the form we have the combo box make an OData call to retrieve the top 200 elements.  On a subsequent 'edit or PUT', where we have a thing we want to update we first go get the thing we want to work with, and then fill in the comobo box with that element.

In this example application we simulate this load by deciding if a value was passed in or not for the combo box.  https://localhost:5001/updateWeather always passes in an 8 to load the 8th element.  https://localhost:5001/createWeather does not pass in any value, leaving the form value unbound.

This all worked as expected in 2.22.0, however once we upgraded to 2.23.0 we could no longer set the value of the combo box on load when combined with an OData call.

I have a ComboBox/DropDownList that gets data from a remote service, using virtualization. When the PageSize property is big enough (in my case 20), I have issues scrolling up the selection box dropdown list. I'm trying to scroll but then resets to the currently selected item making it almost impossible to scroll up. You can use your own demo examples to replicate this issue.

To reproduce the issue, try the ComboBox - Virtualization, in Telerik REPL (Demo), change the PageSize from 10 to 20. Open the dropdown and select an item. Then, open again the dropdown and scroll slowly up.

Example Repo: https://github.com/benhysell/BlazorGridPagingIssue

Steps To Reproduce

• Run application and navigate to https://localhost:5001/updateweather
• Examine the ComboBoxes 'OData Weather Forecasts' and 'OData User' appears correct
• Stop application, change package reference for Telerik.UI.for.Blazor from version 2.25.0 to version 2.26.0
• Clean/Rebuild/run application and navigate back to https://localhost:5001/updateweather
• ComboBox now appears 'doubled', there are two boarders around the ComboBox

In my data, I have multiple identical values for the TextField of the ComboBox. When the user selects one of them and focuses away from the component the selected value changes to the first instance of the items with the same TextFields, although they have different ValueFields.

Reproduction:

<TelerikComboBox Data="@myDdlData" 
                 TextField="MyTextField" 
                 ValueField="MyValueField" 
                 Value="selectedValue" 
                 ValueChanged="@((int? id) => ValueChangedHandler(id))" 
                 FilterOperator="StringFilterOperator.Contains"
                 Filterable="true">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    private List<MyDdlModel> myDdlData { get; set; }

    private void ValueChangedHandler(int? id)
    {
        selectedValue = id;
    }

    public class MyDdlModel
    {
        public int? MyValueField { get; set; }
        public string MyTextField { get; set; }
    }

    int? selectedValue { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        myDdlData = new List<MyDdlModel>()
        {
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 1,
                MyTextField = "John Smith"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 2,
                MyTextField = "John Smith"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 3,
                MyTextField = "John Smith"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 4,
                MyTextField = "Alice Jones"
            },
            new MyDdlModel()
            {
                MyValueField = 5,
                MyTextField = "Alice Jones"
            },
        };
    }
}

In Firefox, the popup window is not closed when the ComboBox is disabled from code.

Reproduction code:

Selected value: @selectedValue
<br />

<TelerikComboBox Data="@myComboData"
                 TextField="MyTextField"
                 ValueField="MyValueField"
                 Value="selectedValue"
                 ValueChanged="@((int value) => ValueChangedHandler(value))"
                 Placeholder="Select an item..."
                 ClearButton="true"
                 Enabled="@isEnabled"
                 Filterable="true">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    public bool isEnabled { get; set; } = true;
    IEnumerable<MyDdlModel> myComboData = Enumerable.Range(1, 20).Select(x => new MyDdlModel { MyTextField = "item " + x, MyValueField = x });

    int selectedValue { get; set; } = 3; //usually the current value should come from the model data

    public async Task ValueChangedHandler(int value)
    {
        isEnabled = false;
        await Task.Delay(4000); //simulate network delay

        selectedValue = value;

        isEnabled = true;
    }

    //in a real case, the model is usually in a separate file
    //the model type and value field type must be provided to the dropdpownlist
    public class MyDdlModel
    {
        public int MyValueField { get; set; }
        public string MyTextField { get; set; }
    }
}

When I select an item from the combo box dropdown, the OnChange event fires with the new value, but the model field is not updated yet.

@selectedValue

<TelerikComboBox Data="@myDdlData" TextField="MyTextField" ValueField="MyValueField"
                 @bind-Value="@selectedValue"  OnChange="@MyOnChangeHandler">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    int selectedValue { get; set; }

    IEnumerable<MyDdlModel> myDdlData = Enumerable.Range(1, 20).Select(x => new MyDdlModel { MyTextField = "item " + x, MyValueField = x });
    
    private void MyOnChangeHandler(object theUserInput)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"COMBO: the models is now {selectedValue} and the handler received {theUserInput}");
    }

    public class MyDdlModel
    {
        public int MyValueField { get; set; }
        public string MyTextField { get; set; }
    }
}

ComboBox value binding broken in 2.9.0, works fine in 2.8.0

Please see your own documentation example:

<TelerikComboBox Data="@MyList" @bind-Value="MyItem">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    protected List<string> MyList = new List<string>() { "first", "second", "third" };
    protected string MyItem { get; set; } = "second";
}

Hi,

If I enter some characters in the ComboBox to filter it, the characters that I enter aren't shown and the filtering is not correct. Indeed, if I enter "ALU" (some of my data start with "ALU", no data appears.

I want to capture the user selection (which has to happen through ValueChanged, as OnChange does not fire when I need it). At this point I want to use the selection from the user and to clear the combo box.

I would expect that this should work but it does not:

@result
<br />
from model: @MyItem
<br />
<br />
<TelerikComboBox Data="@MyList" Value="@MyItem" ValueChanged="@( (string v) => MyValueChangeHandler(v) )" Placeholder="Choose something">
</TelerikComboBox>

@code {
    string result;
    private async Task MyValueChangeHandler(string theUserChoice)
    {
        result = string.Format("The user chose: {0}", theUserChoice);

        MyItem = null; // this should be enough

    }
    protected List<string> MyList = new List<string>() { "first", "second", "third" };
    protected string MyItem { get; set; } = "second";
}
