System.Web.UI.WebControls.XmlDataSoureNodeDescriptor does not contain a property with the name

Hi

I have a simple RadAutoCompleteBox as follows :-

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<div>
    <telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ID="RadAutoCompleteBox1" runat="server"
        DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="Id" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1"
        />

<asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="XmlDataSource1" DataFile="Persons.xml">
</asp:XmlDataSource>

</div>
</form>

and the XML File looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Persons>
  <Person>
    <Id>1</Id>
    <Name>Rita</Name>
    <Surname>Nelson</Surname>
    <Age>59</Age>
  </Person>
  <Person>
    <Id>2</Id>
    <Name>Simon</Name>
    <Surname>West</Surname>
    <Age>59</Age>
  </Person>
  <Person>
    <Id>3</Id>
    <Name>Richard</Name>
    <Surname>Mitchell</Surname>
    <Age>59</Age>
  </Person>
  <Person>
    <Id>4</Id>
    <Name>Alison</Name>
    <Surname>McGrath</Surname>
    <Age>59</Age>
  </Person>
</Persons>

However I am getting this error in a popup on keystroke

System.Web.UI.WebControls.XmlDataSoureNodeDescriptor does not contain a property with the name "Name"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

Hi Johann,

Your xml file has to have the following structure in order for the binding to work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Persons>
  <Person Name="Rita" Id="1"></Person>
  <Person Name="Simon" Id="2"></Person>
  <Person Name="Richard" Id="3"></Person>
</Persons>

 
Kind regards,
