When in browser mode, RadAutoCompleteColumn looks like GridBoundColumn, rendering the text directly to the cell. When in edit mode, it displays a RadAutoCompleteBox control. It shows list of suggested values, that to appears when the user starts to type inside it. You can bind list using the DataSourceID or DataSource. In Edit mode the initial Text of the AutoCompleteBox will be populated based on DataSource of the GridTableView and the DataField set for the column.
