Ivan..thank you for responding.
I followed the documentation and have run into an issue.
i get the error message "The server method 'GetCompnayNames' failed.".
Here is my aspx code. I tried playing with the web service path. I put the fully qualifed path and other combinations.
<telerik:radautocompletebox runat="server" id="RadAutoCompleteBox1" onclientrequesting="requesting"><WebServiceSettings Path="/sites/M4/_layouts/my.websrv/Data.asmx" Method="GetCompanyNames" /></telerik:radautocompletebox>
Questions:
1. Is the error related to the web service path? (web service and calling webpart are in the site collecton).
2. How do i get the actual text from radautocomplete?
i.e context["ClientData"] = RadAutoCompleteBox1.Text?
