Hi Konstantinos,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have analysed your requirement and have created a sample in SfAutoComplete Control.

In ResetService.cs:

var uri = new Uri("");

We have to give the url which we have to use.

When the country collection receives the collection. The result is shown in the AutoComplete DropDownItems.

Please have the sample from the below link.

Hello. Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I am getting an error. The error is in MainActivity.cs , countryAutoComplete.DataSource = itm; Getting System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements

Hi Konstantinos,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We would like to let you know that the error is not in the AutoComplete. It may be due to the authentication issue in the url provided to the itemsource. If the countryCollection in the RestService.cs receives the collection. The result will be shown in the AutoComplete.

Please let us know if you have any concern.

 Hi Konstantinos,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We have modified the sample and while the DataSource is getting loaded we have experienced an issue from our side. We are currently working on the issue and the issue fix will be available in the Volume 2 Sp 1 release 2018 which is expected to be rolled out by the end of June 2018. Please have the sample from the below link.
