dataSourcekendo.data.DataSource
The data source of the widget. Configured via the dataSource option.
Changes of the data source will be reflected in the widget.
Important: Assigning a new data source would have no effect. Use the setDataSource method instead.
Example - add a data item to the data source
<input id="combobox" /> <script> $("#combobox").kendoComboBox({ dataSource: [ { name: "Apples" }, { name: "Oranges" } ], dataTextField: "name", dataValueField: "name" }); var combobox = $("#combobox").data("kendoComboBox"); combobox.dataSource.add({ name: "Appricot" }); combobox.search("A"); </script>In this article
