Autocomplete Refresh

[Jean-Yves]

In love with Kendo UI but not with refresh which does not fire.
We tried different methods without success
Inside an ascx UserControl this is our code:

    <div style="width:1100px;margin:40px 0 100px 0;text-align:center">
        <input id="comboboxWarrantyClients" style="width:200px" />
        <br /><br />
        <div id="button">Refresh the autocomplete !</div>
    </div>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var kendoAutoCompleteWC = null;
    $(document).ready(function () {
      kendoAutoCompleteWC = $("#comboboxWarrantyClients").kendoAutoComplete({
        dataTextField: "FullName",
        dataValueField: "ID",
        dataSource: [{"ID":1,"FullName":"John"}],
        filter: "contains",
        placeholder: "Select"
      });
    });
    $('#button').click(function () {
      kendoAutoCompleteWC.dataSource = [{"ID":1,"FullName":"John"},{"ID":2,"FullName":"Nathalie"}];
      kendoAutoCompleteWC.refresh();
    });

Can someone has the trick to make it work, please ?
In this case, we get an error "kendoAutoCompleteWC.refresh(); is not a function..."
Thanks so much by advance...

Hi Jean,

There were 2 things that I needed to do.  First, I needed to change the way that kendoAutoCompleteWC variable is getting set by adding .data("kendoAutoComplete") to the end of the statement.  Second, instead of setting the .dataSource property and then calling .refresh, I called the .setDataSource function.

Here is the code:

var kendoAutoCompleteWC = null;

$(document).ready(function () {

  kendoAutoCompleteWC = $("#comboboxWarrantyClients").kendoAutoComplete({

    dataTextField: "FullName",

    dataValueField: "ID",

    dataSource: [{"ID":1,"FullName":"John"}],

    filter: "contains",

    placeholder: "Select"

  }).data("kendoAutoComplete");

});

$('#button').click(function () {

  kendoAutoCompleteWC.setDataSource([{"ID":1,"FullName":"John"},{"ID":2,"FullName":"Nathalie"}]);

});

Hope that helps.
