using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.UI;
using Telerik.Web.UI;

namespace TelerikWebFormsTestBed
{
    public partial class _Default : Page
    {
        private static readonly List<String> MyData = new List<string> {"a", "b", "c"};

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }

        protected void RadSearchBox2_Search(object sender, SearchBoxEventArgs e)
        {
            Label1.Text = "Text: " + e.Text;
        }

        [WebMethod]
        public static SearchBoxData GetResults(SearchBoxContext context)
        {
            var results = MyData.Where(x => x.StartsWith(context.Text));
            var sbids = new List<SearchBoxItemData>();
            foreach (var result in results)
            {
                var itemData = new SearchBoxItemData();
                itemData.Text = itemData.Value = result;
                sbids.Add(itemData);
            }
            var sbd = new SearchBoxData {Items = sbids.ToArray()};
            return sbd;
        }
    }
}

 GetResults is never invoked. The Page_Load is every time I type something, but not the actual method...

It seems to be returning the whole page...

Hi,

You have to set "default.aspx" as the Path parameter of the WebServiceSettings, instead of "default". I've also attached a working sample to demonstrate the working control.

I tried that but was getting an "Authentication Failed" message. Changing the RouteConfig RedirectMode seemed to fix the problem:

 

public static class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        var settings = new FriendlyUrlSettings();
        settings.AutoRedirectMode = RedirectMode.Off;
        routes.EnableFriendlyUrls(settings);
    }
}
