Autocomplete in a form

[Johan]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to have an autocomplete input field in a form, ASP.NET Core,  and send back for example customer name to the pagemodel?

 

Best regards,

Hi Johan,

The Kendo UI AutoComplete widget can be used as an editor for a model's field. In order to bind it to the field, you should use the following syntax:

@model IndexModel

@(Html.Kendo().AutoCompleteFor(m => m.ProductName)
    .DataTextField("ProductName")
    .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["products"])
)

This would bind the AutoComplete to the specific field. So that when a new item is selected, it would be applied to the field as well. It would still depend on the type of data that the AutoComplete is bound to. If you share additional details on the exact scenario that you are willing to achieve, I would be able to provide more accurate suggestions.

Let me know in case further assistance is required.


Kind regards,
