Call a method on selecting a field using autocomplete

you can try and bind to the change event

at 22 Sep 2016 Omu

yes but change event will work for methods of view controls like dropdowns, grids , etc. and changes will reflect on that control.
I want to call a method which will work internally

you bind to the change event of the autocomplete ( using it's id), not the change event of the whole document

can you provide me an example for the same , I am not getting it ?
like using jquery

$('#autocompleteId').on('change', function(){ alert('hi'); });

my validation is not working in case of autocompletefor , earlier I was using editorfor and it was working fine

at 26 Sep 2016 Tanuj Shrivastava

the EditorFor helper uses partial views from Shared/EditorTemplates, in our demos all these views have a layout _FieldLayout.cshtml that has the Html.ValidationFor helper and the label, so now since you're not using Editor for you need to add the label and the ValidationFor helper yourself

I am not able to get the value of hidden field, I have changed the ID of hidden field :- 

@Html.Awe().AutocompleteFor(o => o.CompanyName).PropId(m=>m.ContactID)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(o=>o.CompanyName)
@Html.HiddenFor(m=>m.ContactID, new { id = "ContactIDforCompany" })

PropId("theactualid")
why are you setting new { id = "ContactIDforCompany" } ? .PropId(m=>m.ContactID) will look for "ContactID"

at 27 Sep 2016 Omu

actually I am already having a hidden field for ContactID on my view page, due to which I am facing problem during post method. For now I have created separate property for this , but still I want to ask that if this is possible, to read value from hidden field with different ID

there is, I just showed you
PropId("theactualid")
