SearchBox Error

[Mike]

I'm programmatically binding data to a RadSearchBox [I get my data list back from a Service Reference] and I set the DataTextField and DataValueField, then I set the DataSource - all without errors.  However, when I start typing in the search box, I receive a popup on the page: DataSource not set

What am I missing?

<telerik:RadSearchBox runat="server" ID="radTest" OnSearch="radTest_OnSearch"></telerik:RadSearchBox>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if (!IsPostBack)
  {
    UserServiceClient client = new UserServiceClient();
    var users = client.GetSecurityUsers().ToList();
    radTest.DataTextField = "full_name";
    radTest.DataValueField = "user_id";
    radTest.DataSource = users;
  }
}

protected void radTest_OnSearch(object sender, SearchBoxEventArgs e)
{
  UserServiceClient client = new UserServiceClient();
  var users = client.GetSecurityUsers().ToList();
  if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Text))
  {
    users = users.Where(i => i.full_name.Contains(e.Text)).ToList();
  }
  radTest.DataTextField = "full_name";
  radTest.DataValueField = "user_id";
  radTest.DataSource = users;
}

Hello Mike,

Please try to bind the data source on Page_Load:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    BindToList(RadSearchBox1);
}

private void BindToList(RadSearchBox searchBox)
{
    UserServiceClient client = new UserServiceClient();
    var users = client.GetSecurityUsers().ToList();
    searchBox.DataTextField = "full_name";
    searchBox.DataValueField = "user_id";
    searchBox.DataSource = users;
}

If this doesn't help, please provide me with a very simplified runnable project, which I can inspect locally and advise you further.

You can also check the following article on how to bind to array or array list:

I've got a test app (zipped) that has the error in it, where can I send the zip file to?

Hello Mike,
