jQuery UI Autocomplete Changes in 1.10

Legacy 1.9 Code:
$("#searchBox").data("uiAutocomplete")._renderItem = function (ul, item) {
 return renderAutoCompleteItems(ul, item);
};

renderAutoCompleteItems = function(ul, item) {
 return $("<li />")
   .data("item.autocomplete", item)
   .append("<a><img style='width:50px; height:50px;' src='" + item.icon + "' /> " + item.label + "</a>")
   .appendTo(ul);
};

Updated 1.10 Code:
$("#searchBox").data("ui-autocomplete")._renderItem = function (ul, item) {
 return renderAutoCompleteItems(ul, item);
};

renderAutoCompleteItems = function(ul, item) {
 return $("<li />")
   .data("ui-autocomplete-item", item)
   .append("<a><img style='width:50px; height:50px;' src='" + item.icon + "' /> " + item.label + "</a>")
   .appendTo(ul);
};

ASP.NET MVC File Upload through jQuery AJAX

HTML:
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />

Javascript Submit:

formData.append("SourceId", 1234);
ajaxRequestFormData(window.urls.uploadAttachment, formData)

jQuery AJAX:
ajaxRequestFormData = function (url, model) {
$.ajax({

{
var file = Request.Files[0];
attachment.File = file;

var sourceId = attachment.SourceId;

...
}

Domain Class:
public class AttachmentDto
{
public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; }
public decimal SourceId { get; set; }
