I noticed that in http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/populatingwithdata/autocompletesql/defaultcs.aspx you provide examples of Load on Demand Modes. The question I have is around performance. I see that for this application, you have included a web service as part of you project and that you are calling the service to fill the company (a service internal to the project). There is also the Server-Side (Automatic) example that does exactly the same thing.
I undrstand that the service can be used to call an actual external web service that can be used to fill company names. I am not really sure if the internal service was created just as an example of how to call a service or whether there are any disctinct performance advantages/disadvantages to actually embed the service into you project as opposed to using the Server-Side (Automatic) technique. I would appreciate if someone can clarifty this issue.

Hello Nathan Lacoff,
The demo shows that you can use a Web Service to load Items on demand - the Web Service can be external or internal. On the other hand, Automatic Load On Demand uses server-side Load On Demand.
The important difference between the two is that during a server-side Load On Demand the ViewState is sent back to the server and page life cycle events are raised whereas when using a Web Service the minimum amount of data required to complete the operation is transmitted and almost no server-side processing occurs.
So generally speaking Web Service Load On Demand is faster and better in terms of performance. As to the question of which Web Service is faster - local or external - it depends on the access to server hosting the Web Service.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
