AutoCompleteBox AsyncPostback Problem

[Eric]

Hello,

I have a problem with RadAutoCompleteBox.EntryAdded server event. 
I use a dropdownlist to bind RadAutoCompleteBox, and set RadAjaxManager then it can be async, but it's not firing,
when I remove  RadAjaxManager's setting, back to Postback mode, it's work fine.
please help me to resolve this issue, thanks!!

aspx:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server" UpdatePanelsRenderMode="Inline">
         <AjaxSettings>
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="ddlRoleId">
                <UpdatedControls>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="ddlRoleId" LoadingPanelID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="racEmp"></telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl>
                </UpdatedControls>
            </telerik:AjaxSetting>
        </AjaxSettings>
    </telerik:RadAjaxManager>
    <telerik:RadAjaxLoadingPanel ID="RadAjaxLoadingPanel1" runat="server" skin="Vista"/>


<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlRoleId" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlRoleId_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:DropDownList>


<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ID="racEmp" runat="server" Width="700" DropDownWidth="300" Delimiter=";" InputType="Token" DropDownPosition="Automatic" Skin="Windows7">
</telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>

aspx.cs:

protected void ddlRoleId_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadAutoCompleteBoxEntryAdd();
    }

    #region RadAutoCompleteBox
    private void RadAutoCompleteBoxEntryAdd()
    {
        racEmp.Entries.Clear();

        String strType = ddlRoleId.Text;
        //String strType = "ITAdmin";
        Roles r = new Roles();
        Employee emp = new Employee();
        DataTable dt = r.getRoleEmpList(strType);
        //RadAjaxManager1.Alert(dt.Rows.Count.ToString());
        if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                String strEmpId = dt.Rows[i]["EmpId"].ToString();
                DataTable dtEmp = emp.getEmpList(strEmpId);
                String strEmpName = dtEmp.Rows[0]["EmpName"].ToString();
                racEmp.Entries.Add(new AutoCompleteBoxEntry(strEmpName, strEmpId));

                //RadAjaxManager1.Alert(entry.Text);
            }
        }

        RadAutoCompleteBoxDataBind(racEmp, emp.getEmpList(), "ADAccount", "EmpName");
    }
    #endregion

 public static void RadAutoCompleteBoxDataBind(RadAutoCompleteBox rac, DataTable dtsource, String value, String text)
        {
            rac.DataSource = dtsource;
            rac.DataValueField = value;
            rac.DataTextField = text;
            //rac.DataBind();


        }

Hello Eric,

Would you elaborate a bit more on your scenario. As far as I had understood, the EntryAdded server-side event is fired in a non-ajax scenario, when you add programatically entries in the RadAucomCompleteBox? I am afraid, that this event could not be fired, if you add entries programatically. I would like to ask you to record a video, demonstrating the issue at your end, so we could get a clearer picture on the matter.

Hello Nencho,

i called RadAutoCompleteBoxEntryAdd() when  dropdown selectedIndexChanged and PageLoad,
PageLoad works fine, only dropdown  selectedIndexChanged  not firing (on async mode)(postback works fine too).

thank you for helping!
