    Hello,

    The drop down list autocomplete datasource can be any valid datasource. E.g

    RadDropDownList radDropDownList1 = new RadDropDownList();
    radDropDownList1.AutoCompleteDataSource = // a data source
    radDropDownList1.AutoCompleteDisplayMember = "DisplayMember";
    radDropDownList1.AutoCompleteValueMember = "ValueMember";
    radDropDownList1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;

    You can see additional information at this help topic
    Hope that helps
    Richard

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing.

    You can use Ricard's solution or you can implement a custom CustomAutoSuggestHelper and set another data source to the DropDownList of this helper class. This data source will be used for the auto-complete operation. Please refer the following post for more details on how to implement a custom AutoAppendHelper.

    I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. 

    Regards,
