Hello,
I'd like to use the RadAutoCompleteBox without specifying a data source or data source id. Instead I want to allow the user to add custom entries. When entering any custom text I get the alert message "The control DataSource(or DataSourceID) is not set.".
How can I avoid this alert?
I found a thread about this topic, but it couldn't solve my issue: http://www.telerik.com/forums/autocomplete-with-no-database
Pleas help! Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Roland,
Would you elaborate on why the suggested approach from the forum wouldn't work in your case?

Hello Bozhidar,
thank you for your reply.Now it works for me, too. I didn't set the empty datasource on every postback, only on the first page load.

Good day!
I've created two same projects with different "Telerik.Web.UI.dll" version (2013.3.1114.40 and 2014.2.618.40).
New version of the library don't support an empty datasource of RadAutoCompleteBox when it used inside an EditForm of RadGrid control. It's falling with "DataSource not set" exception when I press "Edit" linkbutton.
But when I've used it at Sitefinity - no exception displayed. Grid just doesn't go in EditMode.

Hi,
The DataSource of the RadAutoCompleteBox should be supplied regardless if a PostBack occurs or not. The binding mechanism of the control, relies on the currently type character ( where a callback occurs ) upon which the control is populated. Each time a character is typed, a callback is initiated in order to performed the query to the used datasource. Please try to attach the DataSource to RadAutoCompleteBox in proper event.
Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks for answer, Princy!
But I try to assign a datasource (list<> from a model of MS Entity framework) at "OnItemDataBound" handler:
But the code in the "IF" statement never be executing, because of an exception "Datasource not set" when I press "Edit" command button. It seems, datasource has requested early before "OnItemDataBound" event. And there is no "OnNeedDataSource" event.
So I cann't found appropriate event or DataSource construction (compatible with MS Entity frm.).
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,
Could you please open a support ticket and send us a runnable sample project, which demonstrates the issue to examine it locally?
