Hi,I have a webcombo which binds to a datatable using the datasouceid property.This works great and the typeahead suggest works great as well.
The problem is that on the server, the call to populate the datatable is pretty heavy. So I assume, each time a user types something, there is a round trip to the server, my heavy call populates the datatable, your control then selects what is needs from the datatable and that is passed back to the control on the web form. For my senario, this is not very practical.
Is there any way to avoid these heavy round trips without having to hand code the whole thing in js?
Thanks for the help

Hi, has anyone figured out how to disable/cancel client-side filtering on the webcombo?
Thanks
Not yet. I had thought of some how hooking to the selectWhere() client side event and cancelling the filtering on the client side. That will be my next try when I come to it. Take a look at this post, this is where I got the idea from.

I need same functionality: be able to turn off webcombo filter and rely only on datasource select filter.
Any solution for this problem?
Thank you,

Hi Andres,
That is working very well now; My combo is calling my service layer and implementing paging, sorting and filtering and the service calls and SQL calls are all light and fast only return the rows that they should.Is there a way to stop the combo from doing its own filtering, but give the same behaviour as when using ComboTypeAhead = Suggest?
I would then be able to use better filtering (so no case sensitivity, use CONTAINS keyword at the back end etc)?
Thanks for your help
Thanks Andres, will give that a go.There is also an issue with filtering being case sensitive? Is there anyway to avoid this?
ThanksZack
