Is it possible to have a WebCombo with these features?

Q: Is it possible to have a WebCombo with a drop-down suggesting values starting with the text entered in the textbox (similar to the example here: http://live.intersoftpt.com/cs/WebCombo/EntryMode_AutoComplete.aspx?noframe=1&path=/WebCombo/Top Features/Time-saving Combo Features)
A: The link is point to one of WebCombo feature called “AutoComplete entry mode”. To enable this feature, simply set the value of “EntryMode” property of WebCombo to “AutoComplete”.

Q: The list of options is retrieved from a class representing the business layer (no direct LINQ to SQL integration or similar).
A: We have a sample of WebCombo bind to ISDataSource control where the schema type of the data source is custom object. The sample name is BindCustomObject.aspx.

Q: The business logic layer receives as parameter the text typed in the textbox (so that the business layer does not have to query the database for all the items, but only for the items whose name starts with the string typed in textbox)
A: As Glenn answered to your post at following link, http://www.intersoftpt.com/Community/WebGrid/WebCombo-with-filtered-drop-down-behavior-and-business-layer-samples/, a sample for such scenario has been provided in the WebCombo sample LoadOnDemand.aspx. An article in the WebCombo documentation has also been provided for LoadOnDemand in the article titled “Load On Demand” and “How-to: Apply load on demand in WebCombo”.

Hello,

Is it possible to have a WebCombo with these features?

a.A drop-down suggesting values starting with the text entered in the textbox (similar to the example here:

http://live.intersoftpt.com/cs/WebCombo/EntryMode_AutoComplete.aspx?noframe=1&path=/WebCombo/Top%20Features/Time-saving%20Combo%20Features)

b.The list of options is retrieved from a class representing the business layer (no direct LINQ to SQL integration or similar)

c.The business logic layer receives as parameter the text typed in the textbox (so that the business layer does not have to query the database for all the items, but only for the items whose name starts with the string typed in the textbox)

An example would be a combo containing the whole population of United States, with pre-existing classes used for querying the database - you type A and you get the first 15 or so people whose name starts with a **retrieved by the business logic layer** (not queries from the web page etc).

An example using an ObjectDataSource would help in any case as we're using those as proxies for our Bussines Components calls.
