Hi Suraj,

Can you explain a bit more about your scenario like what type of binding are you using?

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello Suraj,

RadAutoCompleteBox doesn't use the regular binding mechanism that the DropDownList does. It's actually never bound in the sense that you have access to its items on the server. Only when you type something in the textbox does it request and render the matched items, after which they are again lost. So you won't be able to do something like autoCompleteBox.Items..., because the items are not accessible. 

Instead you have to use the approach you pointed out in your first post - creating a new Entry manually and inserting it into the RadAutoCompleteBox. I've also attached a simple sample page demonstrating this approach.
