Kendo ComboBox change dataSource to json object

I have a kendo combobox created using an MVC wrapper like so:

@Html.Kendo.ComboBox().Name("Well");

I want to update the data manually using a json array stored in javascript (not from an ajax query) - I came across this code which almost works except that I get [object Object] 3 times in the ComboBox instead of the 'text' value from the json array:

$("#Well").data("kendoComboBox").dataSource.data([{text: "i1", value: "1"}, {text: "i2", value: "2"}, {text: "i3", value: "3"}]);
$("#Well").data("kendoComboBox").dataSource.query();
Solution

  • It seems there is no default for the text/value fields so adding:

    @Html.Kendo.ComboBox().DataTextField("text").DataValueField("value").Name("Well");

    fixes the issue.
