[Solved] prevent the RadSearchBox from displaying items

[Daniel]

Hello,

I am currently working on a project with a RadSearchBox .


VB.NET:

01.Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
02.    Dim User_Report As New DataTable
03.    Session("User_Report") = GenTreeData(User_Report)
04.
05.    RadSearchBox1.DataTextField = "Name"
06.    RadSearchBox1.DataValueField = "ID"
07.    RadSearchBox1.DataSource = CType(Session("User_Report"), DataTable)
08.    RadSearchBox1.DataBind()
09.
10.End Sub
11.
12.Private Function GenTreeData(User_Report As DataTable) As DataTable
13.
14.    User_Report.Columns.Add("Section")
15.    User_Report.Columns.Add("ID")
16.    User_Report.Columns.Add("Parent_ID")
17.    User_Report.Columns.Add("Description")
18.    User_Report.Columns.Add("Name")
19.
20.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "101_1", "-1-1", "dedcrip", "xxxxxxx")
21.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "101_2", "-1-1", "dedcrip", "vvvvv")
22.    User_Report.Rows.Add("-1", "102_1", "-1-1", "dedcrip", "ccc")
23.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "-2-2", Nothing, Nothing, "ddd")
24.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "-3-3", "-1-1", Nothing, "ddd")
25.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "102_2", "-2-2", "dedcrip", "hhhhh")
26.    User_Report.Rows.Add("2", "101_3", "-2-2", "dedcrip", "lll")
27.    User_Report.Rows.Add("2", "-1-1", Nothing, Nothing, "ooooo")
28.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "101_4", "-3-3", "dedcrip", "zzzzz")
29.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "102_3", "-3-3", "dedcrip", "zzzzz")
30.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "102_4", "-3-3", "dedcrip", "zzzzz")
31.    User_Report.Rows.Add("1", "102_5", "-1-1", "dedcrip", "zzzzz")
32.    Return User_Report
33.End Function

ASPX:

<telerik:RadSearchBox ID="RadSearchBox1" runat="server" EmptyMessage="search" EnableAutoComplete="true">
                                <DropDownSettings Height="550px" Width="400px">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <div class="search-report-box">
                                            <span id="serach-report-name"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name")%></span><br />
                                            <span id="search-report-category"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%></span>
                                        </div>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                </DropDownSettings>
                            </telerik:RadSearchBox>

How can I prevent the RadSearchBox from displaying items
whose description is empty?

I’ll be glad for help,

Daniel.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

The only way to achieve such result is to filler  the RadSearchBox data source and populate the control with items that have a description value.
