Hi,
The scenario that I'm trying to implement is to use a RadAutoCompleteBox that takes user input and after a few milliseconds that they stop typing updates the ItemsSource with a filtered list from a domain service using the entered value. I dont want to retrieve all possible entries from the start as there are way too many to return, hence the filter on the server.
I dont know what the correct method would be to do so, but I've manage to use the SearchTextChanged event along with timers to fire a query to the server to update the List that is bound to the ItemsSource. It works well but the results is not visible until i re-focus the Autocomplete control.
I'm sure there is most likely a better way of doing this and any suggestions would be appreciated.

PS. I'm using a MVVM approach.
