Implementing Shared Content selector on MVC widget

I have an MVC widget where I would like to implement 'Shared Content' selector like the one in Content Block widget. I have added a Guid property on my controller but the widget designer from Sitefinity Thunder does not provide an interface for 'Shared Content' selector. How can I implement that on my widget?

I found this documentation ( www.sitefinity.com/.../change-your-dynamic-content-selector-to-choose-from-generic-content )but when I implemented it, I don't see any content block listed even though I have created some. Below is the part on my designer that the documentation mentions to change. Any idea why this is not working?

<sitefinity:FlatSelector ID="ContentBlockIdItemSelector" runat="server" ItemType="Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentItem"
                DataKeyNames="Id" ShowSelectedFilter="false" AllowPaging="false" PageSize="10"
                AllowSearching="true" ShowProvidersList="true" InclueAllProvidersOption="false"
                SearchBoxTitleText="Filter by Title" ShowHeader="true"
                ServiceUrl="~/Sitefinity/Services/Content/ContentItemService.svc/?
                    managerType=&providerName=&itemType=
                    Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentItem
                    &provider=&sortExpression=LastModified%20DESC
                    &skip=0&take=50">
            <DataMembers>
                <sitefinity:DataMemberInfo ID="DataMemberInfoContentBlockId" runat="server" Name="Title" IsExtendedSearchField="true" HeaderText="Title">
                    <span>Title.Value</span>
                </sitefinity:DataMemberInfo>
            </DataMembers>
        </sitefinity:FlatSelector>

It looks like that I have to put some text on the search box then it will show me some results. The problem is , what I see is 'undefined' as a title instead of an actual title. What needs to be changed to get the title show up properly?
