Telerik Mvc Combobox large data loading issue on AutoCompleteFilterMode

Hi all

Its been long break...Here i am back with little out of box solution which is not available on internet,i did the solution and felt to share it with you all so that you people do not face the issues which i faced while working with telerik mvc combobox

As we know (People who use telerik mvc combobox) that when telerik mvc combobox is used and there is huge data to be loaded from controls action method, and if AutoCompleteFilterMode is on,the combo simply hangs in IE and traditional IE error will come up saying "SCRIPT IS RUNNING INFINITE,DO YOU WANT TO STOP THE SCRIPT", and will just kill the browser

So, let us cut the story short and come up directly on solution,say you are having following combobox code

<%: Html.Telerik().ComboBoxFor(model => modelfooId)
.AutoFill(true)
.BindTo(new SelectList(Model.fooList, "Value", "Text", Model.fooId))
.HtmlAttributes(new {style = "width:400px"})
.Filterable(filtering => filtering.FilterMode(AutoCompleteFilterMode.StartsWith))
.ClientEvents(c => c.OnChange("MakeSelection").OnClose("MakeSelection"))
.HighlightFirstMatch(true)
%>

you can observe the client event registered,which is actual hack for the solution,now those javascript function is as simple as that like following

function MakeSelection(e) {
    $('.t-animation-container').hide();
}

Now, try refreshing your page and try selecting any of the options, it will not hang and will run as you want

Its like magic,"Its misty until you know the trick behind"...

let me know your feedback...

Why SitecoreAI - Getting into the shoes of the customer how to select right CMS

Hi Team, Lately, I have been talking to lot of our customers / potential customers and having pre-sales demos where one question always comes is "Why Sitecore" ?  Now this question can be for any product which is out for sell. And as a technician I always get into product technical features, but at the same time as a pre-sales guy, it also makes me think, surely all competitive products have same features, so definitely answer to this is not in the technicalities.  If you step back and think, we are also a customer in our daily life and buy lot of things, what is that process we go through? When we buy, how can your customer decide if this is a right fit for you or not, why we select A over B? Is it price? is it service? Is it a brand? Is it about features? Is it about brand loyalty?  When it is a technical product, I am sure it cannot start with the technicalities of the product or selecting product itself, 100% not, I feel decision is always business strategy first and ...

If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...
