dataSource kendo.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>
