Hi Telerik,
the dropdownlist does not select the correct option on initialization when using virtualization (if i turn off virtualization it works fine). Im using it very similar to your demo of virtualization.
Is it possible that this is a bug? Im using version 2015.1.429.545.
this is my code:
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.person_id) .DataTextField("Name") .DataValueField("Id") .Filter("contains") .OptionLabel("Choose...") .Height(300) .DataSource(source => { source .Custom() .ServerFiltering(true) .ServerPaging(true) .PageSize(80) .Type("aspnetmvc-ajax") .Transport(transport => { transport.Read("ReadForDropDown", "Person"); }) .Schema(schema => { schema.Data("Data") .Total("Total"); }); }) .Virtual(v => v.ItemHeight(26).ValueMapper("personsValueMapper")) )
