Hi,

I am using autocomplete for a RADCombobox. 

[OperationContract]
public RadComboBoxData wpfSelectProgrammeFromClientDB(RadComboBoxContext context)
{
}

In this service, I am using a SQL Query to fill a datatable.

strSQLQuery = "SELECT pk_ProgrammeID,Title FROM Programme WHERE Title LIKE @prefixText";
da = new SqlDataAdapter(strSQLQuery, ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DEMO"].ToString());
da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@prefixText", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = "%" + context.Text + "%";
dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);

In my .aspx, I use

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbClientProgrammeTitle" Runat="server" EmptyMessage="Select a Title" EnableLoadOnDemand="true" 
                                ShowMoreResultsBox="true" EnableVirtualScrolling="true" Skin="Windows7" 
                                AutoPostBack="True" >
<WebServiceSettings Method="SelectProgrammeFromClientDB" Path="LinkMedia.aspx.cs"/>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

I need to pass a second parameter to the SQL Query, like

strSQLQuery = "SELECT pk_ProgrammeID,Title FROM Programme WHERE Title LIKE @prefixText AND Client = @Client";
da = new SqlDataAdapter(strSQLQuery, ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DEMO"].ToString());
da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@prefixText", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = "%" + context.Text + "%";
da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@Client", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = " + WHAT DO I PASS HERE;
dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);

OR is there any other alternative to do this. The @Client comes from a Query String which I am not able to access in the WCF Service.

Can you please show me a demo of how to send multiple parameters to the Service or how to access the query string values from the page in the service.

Thanks
Prithvi

Hi Prithvi,

Please check this help article  - it demonstrates how to pass additional information to the web service.

All the best,

Hi Yana,

Thanks for the reply. The example that you specified uses the code

context["FilterString"] = eventArgs.get_text();

How do I get this in my web service with RadComboBoxContext context

public RadComboBoxData wpfSelectProgrammeFromClientDB(RadComboBoxContext context)
{
}

I tried the following

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="rtbClientID" runat="server" Visible="false"></telerik:RadTextBox>

function OnClientItemsRequesting(sender, eventArgs) {
var lblClientID = $find("<%# rtbClientID.ClientID %>");
var clientIDText = lblClientID.get_text();
var context = eventArgs.get_context();
context["ClientID"] = clientIDText;
}

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbClientProgrammeTitle" Runat="server" 
                    EmptyMessage="Select a Title" EnableLoadOnDemand="true" 
                                ShowMoreResultsBox="true" EnableVirtualScrolling="true" Skin="Windows7" 
                                OnClientItemsRequesting="OnClientItemsRequesting" >
                            <WebServiceSettings Method="wpfSelectProgrammeFromClientDB" Path="Services/AutoCompleteWebControl.svc"/>
</telerik:RadComboBox>


But the web service and autocomplete don't fire up for the combobox. Is there anything else I am missing.

Thanks
Prithvi

Thanks. I figured it out. I used

context["ClientID"] = <%= Request.QueryString["ClientID"] %>

to set the QueryString value to the context in the OnClientItemsRequesting() function.

Thanks
