Hi Joslyn,

Please try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ID="RadAutoCompleteBox" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"
            DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="ShipCountry" DataValueField="ShipCountry"
            OnEntryAdded="RadAutoCompleteBox_EntryAdded">
        </telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

C#:

protected void RadAutoCompleteBox_EntryAdded(object sender, AutoCompleteEntryEventArgs e)
    {
        RadAutoCompleteBox autocompletebox = (RadAutoCompleteBox)sender;
        GridDataItem data = (GridDataItem)autocompletebox.NamingContainer;
        string val = autocompletebox.Text;
        data["ColumnUniqueName"].Text = "Your Required Text";
    }

Thanks,
Princy
