Description

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC ComboBox offers several ways for data binding and one of them is the custom data source approach.

To implement the remote data-binding feature, you need to specify a remote endpoint or web service returning data in a JSON or JSONP format, and utilize the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC DataSource as a mediator between the ComboBox and the underlying data.

This demo shows how to configure the data binding of the ComboBox by using the DataSource property and specifying its type as Custom.

Additional Apps

This ComboBox example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of ASP.NET MVC demos, with which you can see all Telerik ASP.NET MVC components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit them and their theme appearance in the ThemeBuilder.
