Set (boxbox.ItemsSource = dataTable.DefaultView;) or bind the ItemsSource property to the DefaultView of the DataTable and define an ItemTemplate to display the value of the surname column. Also set the ValueMemberPath property:

<toolkit:AutoCompleteBox x:Name="boxbox" Height="23" 
                        ItemsSource="{Binding dt.DefaultView}"
                        ValueMemberPath="surname"
                        Margin="93,38,119,95">
    <toolkit:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding surname}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </toolkit:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
</toolkit:AutoCompleteBox>

If you bind to the ItemsSource, the source property should return the DefaultView property of the DataTable. You also need to make sure that you set the DataContext of the AutoCompleteBox to an instance of the class where the source property is defined.
