add Functionnality AutocompleteBox : search in multi column

[Olivier]

Hello

Can you add this functionnality in AutoCompleteBox.

We can only search on the property  " DataTextField " of the AutoComplete

it's wil be useful if you add an attribute property  " SearchDataColumn " and we can add a separate column of sql with ","
if i put  SearchDataColumn="Column1, Column2, Column3" your query can search in this column.

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

There is no ASP.NET control that exposes such "search data columns" property.
If you want to search in some columns of a database table  - you can simply modify your SQL "Select" statement.

hello Calleigh

With asp.net ajax we can search in data columns, with telerik we don't cause , we don't access of the sql statement
the "where statement".


We want modify the where to search city name, zip code or department code , you have only search on 1 column
in your web application ?

I probably misunderstood your concept.
How exactly do you search in many datatable columns using the ASP.NET controls properties? What controls do you use?

[Olivier]

Voilà a website which represent my concept : http://www.century21.com/property-search

you can search on the autocompleteBox  : "los angeles" ,"90210" , "Michigan" or "California"
This value are store in the different column of the select , and the display is also different.

it's exactly that i would make with telerik.

I use today Autocomplete from asp.net
http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/AutoComplete/AutoComplete.aspx

And i change in the sql my filter in the where , but the webservice is too Slow ,

Telerik is more fast and i ask to nencho to ask to add this functonnality. , Column Display="Col1, Col3 " and Column Filter= "Col4, Col1,Col2,Col3"

Please if you can test on century21 to search a location, you ll understand my concept.

Olivier,
