RadAutoCompleteBox: don't find exact matchings

[Ciupaz]

Hello,
I have this HTML code (for RadAutoCompleteBox) in my aspx page (WebForms): 

<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="acbClient"
                  EmptyMessage="Client" OnClientDropDownItemDataBound="RemoveDuplicated" MaxDropDownHeight="100"
                  DataTextField="RagSoc" DataValueField="CodCli" InputType="Token" DropDownHeight="150px"
                  CssClass="RadAutoCompleteBoxPopup_Default" CollapseAnimation-Type="OutElastic"
                  Width="385">
</telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>

 

and this in code-behind (VB.NET):

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    If GetClient(dtClient) = True Then
      acbClient.DataSource = dtClient
      acbClient.DataBind()
    End If

End Sub

 

but when I click some letters (for example, "ac" like in the screenshoot), 
seems that don't find the exact matching. 

Why this happens?

Thanks a lot in advance. 

Luis

Hello Luis,

The AutoCompleteBox needs to be bound on each callback. Also, once you set the data source, you can skip the .DataBind() method as explained here:

• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/data-binding/overview
  • DataBind method can be omitted when binding to a data source at runtime.
• https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/autocompletebox/data-binding/binding-to-array,-or-arraylist

If the issue persists, share more details on the datasource you set to the AutoCompleteBox and check if removing the GetClient(dtClient) condition would have any effect.
