Hello.
I have a case:
1) User pastes a semicolon-separated list of entries into RadAutoCompleteBox;
2) Code must refine entries according to some logic and only add valid entries to Entries collection.
But it seems that the only case when I can modify RadAutoCompleteBox.Entries collection and my modifications are shown after postback is the initial load of a page. When I process 'paste' event on client via JavaScript and use __doPostBack(), any modifications to RadAutoCompleteBox.Entries are missed.
Here's a project reproducing the problem. When I paste, for example, "Most;are" (without quotes, assuming to paste two tokens: 'Most' and 'are'), nothing is added. If I comment out UpdatePanel it works as expected, but full page postback occurs.

If I add UpdatePanel.Update() within if(Page.PostBack){} block, an error occurs:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.InvalidOperationException: Two components with the same id 'RACB' can't be added to the application.

Hi Vakhtang,
Take a look at the video showing how your code behaves at my end: http://screencast.com/t/vgFZqTncS. I have been testing this scenario with the very latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.
(I have tested it with and without the ChildrenAsTriggers, and UpdateMode definition for the asp:UpdatePanel and still was not able to replicate the error in question.)
Let me know if I am missing something.
Kind regards,
Ivana
