We are using WebCombo in out project integrated with WebGrid. We recently encountered an issue concerning the AdditionalSearchFields.

Product Info: WebCombo 6.0.7200, WebGrid 9.0.7200

In our scenario, the DataValueField and DataTextField are set to the first column named ID which is of integer type and the AdditionalSearchFields property points to a single field named ITEM which is nvarchar and the corresponding record values contain both integer and string values.

As long as numeric values are entered and searched, filtering works fine. All records containing the search value either on ID or on ITEMCODE are shown correctly. If a string value is entered that exists in column ITEM then it seems to fail to filter the rows and ALL records are presented in the combo box list just as if not filter is entered.

I tried a test scenario in which the DataValueField and the column(s) mentioned in AdditionalSearchFields are all of string type and it works fine. The problem only appears when there is datatype inconsistency between as in my true scenario.

Thanks in advance,

Dimitris
