[Solved] Binding Existing value

[Gene]

Here is my problem with the AutocompleteBox for Xaml on Windows 8, this control is nice but how do you bind the existing value to the control without asking the user to enter it again.

Let's say the user enters Promet in the autocompletebox, the control looks at the data and loads the list of movies, the user selects Prometheus , then saves the data, comes back to the page , Prometheus should be displayed in the control but it's not, since there is no list to be bounded to it does not show ... how can i solve the problem?  I tried asking the control to load only Prometheus but it shows the list with only one row and the user needs to select it again...

Hello Gene,

Thank you for contacting us.

The NavigationCacheMode property of the Page instance is set to Disabled by default, which means that a new instance of the page is created on each visit. You can consider enabling navigation caching if this is the behavior you want.

Alternatively, you can try using a two-way binding for the RadAutoCompleteBox.Text property to a property in your view model and persist that for the next visit to the page.

I hope this helps.
