Hello Ravi,

In order to get the value of the given entry at this event, you need to get a reference to the Entry and then use the get_value() method:

<script>
           function textChanged(sender, eventArgs) {
               var value = sender.get_entries().getEntry(0).get_value();
               alert("The text currently present in the input area of RadAutoCompleteBox is: " + value);
           }
       </script>
