AutocompleteBox from Silverlight Toolkit does not work well with numbers

Question

I implemented a simple project to show you my problem. I have a simple web service that complete (french) cities by name or zip code. When I put a letter, the AutocompleteBox shows a list of cities as expected. If I put a number, it doesn't display the list, even though I traced the code, and it's populating and parsing well...

Is it a known issue ?

Download my sample project (just a default template with the autocompletebox) : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3475545/Autocomplete.zip

Answer 1

Since your service is doing the filtering you need add FilterMode="None" to the xaml on your AutoCompleteBox. By default the mode is StartsWith so you service is fetching all the Cities with matching Zip codes but then AutoCompleteBox is excluding them all because none actually start with the Zip code.
