How to populate the AutoCompleteTextBox in code behind.

[Andy Richard]

I'm trying to populate the AutoCompleteTextBox in code behind. The data is coming from a Web service as a strongly-typed dataset. I notice a DataSourceID property, but not a DataSource property. Any ideas?

This is urgent!

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can populate the autocomplete textbox with dataset in code behind by the ProvideChoiceListOnCallback as mentioned in the code below:

protected void AutoCompleteTextBox1_ProvideChoiceListOnCallback(object sender, Syncfusion.Web.UI.WebControls.Tools.ACUserChoiceListEventArgs e)
    {
        ArrayList List = new ArrayList();
        string key = e.Key;
        DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
        string url = "Id.xml";
        dataset.ReadXml(this.Context.Server.MapPath(url));
        DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
        dataTable = dataset.Tables[0];
        DataRow[] Matchrow = dataset.Tables[0].Select(" Id like '" + key + "%'");
        foreach (DataRow row in Matchrow)
        {
            string Id = row[0].ToString();
            List.Add(Id);
        }
        e.ChoiceList = List;
    }

Please refer the sample in the link below which illustrates the above:
