Client-side Binding

In this demo you can see how the RadLightBox is bound to a RadClientDataSource.

You can data bind RadLightBox on the client to a RadClientDataSource control since Q2 2014. This functionality is provided out of the box through the ClientDataSourceID property.

The seamless integration between these two controls allows a fully codeless approach.

You should only set the ClientDataSourceID and specify the LightBox DataFileds:

  • DataImageUrlField
  • DataImageUrlField
  • DataTitleField
  • DataTargetControlIDField
  • DefaultVB.aspx
  • styles.css
