[Solved] Binding AutoCompleteBox web binding

[Veri]

Hi Telerik Team,

How can I populate SuggestionSource from web service for AutoCompleteBox using Caliburn Micro?

I have already tried it by binding TextChanged, TextInput, TextInputUpdate and so on but it always fires everytime I input something using the keyboard even though I already set FilterStartTreshold to 3.

Any help especially with samples will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Veri,

Thank you for contacting us.

Here is an article from our online documentation about using web service as provider for filtered suggestions: WebService support for AutoCompleteBox

I have also attached a sample application that demonstrates how to set a FilterStartTreshold and load the suggested items.

I hope this helps. Please, let us know if you have further questions.

Hello Rosy,

I already know how to do it from code behind. What I wanted to know is how to do it from ViewModel because I can't set WebServiceAutoCompleteProvider from the ViewModel.

Hi Veri,

I have modified the sample project. You have to define the web service provider in the view model class and use command triggered by the RadAutoCompleteBox.Loaded event to initialize the suggestions provider.

I hope this helps. Please, let us know if you have further questions.
