Client-side Templates

Select Employee:

RadDropDownList supports client templates. The templates are declared in the ClientItemTemplate tag and support the following expressions for evaluating code: #= ... # - Data - Evaluates the JavaScript code expression or a string property from the data item and outputs the result in the template.
# ... # - Code - Evaluates the JavaScript code expression inside. Does not output value.
#: ... # - HTML-encode - Same as the data expression, but HTML-encodes the result.
