[Solved] RadControl AutoComplete querying data from ASP.NET web API

[Ashith]

Is there a sample code which shows how to integrate or call ASP.NET Web API endpoint to get data for the AutoComplete RadControl.

Hi Ashith,

Unfortunately we do not have a sample project of RadAutoCompleBox integrated in RadScheduler advanced form. This, however, is a nice suggestion and we will do our best to provide such an example for our customers as a Knowledge Bade or a Code Library sample.

Meanwhile, you could take a look at the following online demo which basically shows how to customize the advance form of RadScheduler: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/advancedformtemplate/defaultcs.aspx. Integrating the RadAutoCompleteBox into the advanced form of RadScheduler should be no different than the integration of the other RadControls in the form. 

The following help article might be helpful for the matter as well: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scheduler-customzing-advanced-form-advanced-templates.html.

Kind regards,

I would like to know to integrate or call ASP.NET web API services from ASP.NET AJAX RadControls. for e.g., Autocomplete and RadGrid etc.

Hi Ashith,

The online demos provided below show examples of RadAutoComplete and RadGrid bound to Web service:

• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/autocompletebox/examples/populatingwithdata/defaultcs.aspx;
• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/livedata/defaultcs.aspx.

The online demos for each control should contain an example of the corresponding control bound to a Web service.

I hope this is helpful.

All the best,

Hello
I am using the latest version of Telerik RadControls for ASP.Net AJAX(Telerik.Web.UI_2013_1_403_Dev).

I have a page named "CalendarDetails.aspx" which contains a RadScheduler control with custom AdvancedEdit Form. The user control used as advanced edti form is "AdvancedForm".

I am trying to use RadAutoCompleteBox in the user control (for adding/editing appointments), I am using a web service as my DataSource. When I type something, in the AutoCompleteBox, it does not work i.e. does not hit the server side method in the WebService.

However, if I place the same control with same WebService and method as the DataSource, in the host page i.e. CalendarDetails.aspx. It works perfectly fine.

Can you suggest any work around or any working example?

Thanks.
