Bind Autocomplete to SharePoint 2013 list

[Keith]

Are there any ready-made examples of how I could bind RadAutoComplete to a SharePoint list via web services? 

[Keith]

I found a way with the server side object model to query a SP list:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            using (var site = new SPSite("http://sp2013server"))

            {

                using (var web = site.OpenWeb())

                {

                    var list = web.Lists["MyList"];

                    RadAutoCompleteBox1.DataSource = list.Items.GetDataTable();

                    RadAutoCompleteBox1.DataBind();

                }

            }

        }

My next question however is, how do I set the AutocompleteBox to search on multiple columns in this datasource? I need to generate a "hit" on several columns in the datasource.

Hello Keith,

Unfortunately at the moment such functionality is not supported in RadAutoCompleteBox. However we are researching the possibility to include a similar feature in one of our future releases, so keep track of our release history.

Thanks - I noted that the RadComboBox has the ability to query across several fields and went with that tool instead. It would be good to have this available in a future AutoCompleteBox release too!
