Hello!
AutoCompleteBoxEntry allows to store only two meaningful fields of data: DataTextField, DataValueField
I try to store an object (with many other fields, beside DataTextField and DataValueField) for further processing in a corresponding AutoCompleteBoxEntry.DataItem (within RadAutoCompleteBox.EntryAdded event's code). But DataItem seems not to be stored anywhere (in ViewState?) along with the AutoCompleteBoxEntry instance, so I cannot access a particular AutoCompleteBoxEntry.DataItem later in Button's click event, for example.
Which practice of storing full data object in DataItem would you advise?

Hi Vakhtang Barbakadze,
The DataItem property is available only during databinding.
You are not able to use it in a Button.Click event handler.
Can you explain the scenario that you want to implement in more details?
Thank you.
All the best,
