Hello Rahul,

Please use the RadAutoCompleteBox EntryAdded server-side event and enable by setting AutoPostBack property to "True"
//markup code

<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ID="RadAutoCompleteBox1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="ContactName" DataValueField="CustomerID" AutoPostBack="true" OnEntryAdded="RadAutoCompleteBox1_EntryAdded">

</telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>

<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="SqlDataSource1" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnString %>"

ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" SelectCommand="SELECT [CustomerID], [ContactName] FROM [Customers] ORDER By ContactName">

</asp:SqlDataSource>

//code behind

protected void RadAutoCompleteBox1_EntryAdded(object sender, AutoCompleteEntryEventArgs e)

{

AutoCompleteBoxEntry entry = e.Entry;

//you can access the entry text

String entryText = entry.Text;

}

Hello Luigi,

Here is a simple example iterating the Entries collection and getting the Text of the entries:

protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var texts = new List<string>();
    foreach (AutoCompleteBoxEntry entry in RadAutoCompleteBox1.Entries)
    {
        texts.Add(entry.Text);
    }
}
