Getting Started with the RadAutoCompleteBox

Today we are going to be looking at getting started with the RadAutoCompleteBox which is part of the Telerik RadControls for Windows Phone 7 control suite for .NET Mobile development. The RadAutoCompleteBox control provides filtered suggestions as the user types for convenience and faster navigation. The suggestions are shown in a pop-up, but if you like you can hide the pop-up and show them in a separate listbox. The control exposes a convenient API to control its behavior and uses optimized filtering algorithms to boost up performance. RadAutoCompleteBox has two Auto Complete Modes: StartsWith and Contains.
