When I type into the TextBox that the AutoCompleteExtender is associated with, I get no response whatsoever. Here's the code:
TextBox + AutoCompleteExtender (cell is a TableCell object in a TableRow in a etc etc):

I have created an autoextender & cannot seem to get it to work within my pages. So I'm missing something probably small yet important.
The webservice AutoComplete.asmx, when called by itself, does return data correctly.
The codebehind for AutoComplete.asmx is located in the App_Code folder.
AutoComplete.asmx and the page from which I am calling it are both located in the root folder.
AutoComplete.vb:

I'm using Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, on a Vista 64 bit machine. I have a simple application that has 2 textboxes that are both setup with an AutoCompleteExtender. They both work as expected with the following exception only in IE7. The top textbox has the focus by default, I set this in a pageLoad javascript function.
[Code]....
I enter in some text in the top textbox and after 2 characters (MinimumPrefixLength="2") I get the list from my webservice and I've coded it so that once an item from the list is selected it uses the OnClientItemSelected="eventHandlerPnum"to call the javascript function 'eventHandlerPnum' which sets the document.location to a url with the item as a query parameter. This works fine the first time. If I use the back button when I start entering text into the top textbox I get the browser cached entries in a dropdown after the first character and the list from my webservice doesn't show up after the second character.
I've tried this in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari and they all behave correctly, ie they always display the web service list after the second character.
I'm Creating some textboxes with autocompleteextenders attached to them dynamically at runtime however, I'm having some trouble getting them to fire.
When I create the textboxes with autocompleteextenders at design time, they work fine.
Here's the method that creates them both:
[Code]....
The txtID parameter is basically a name with a number appended to it, IE: txtBox_0,txtBox_1
The svcMethod parameter is of course the respective service to call (there are 2 different services.)
Using autocomplete with <ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender but nothing happens. The textbox has autopostback=falseon debugging autocomplete.vb page nothing happens
WebService
Public Class AutoComplete
Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
<System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod(), _
System.Web.Services.WebMethod()> _
Public Shared Function GetCustomers(ByVal prefix As String, ByVal count As Integer) As List(Of String)
[Code] ....
it is possible that AutoCompleteExtender can call a service Web of another project of my solution?
View 1 RepliesI am successful in using the AutoCompleteExtender control by make use of web serivces as the data source (ServiceMethod) to the extender control. My question is do we have any way in assining a code behind method as data source to this control.
removing the ServicePath url and assiging code behind method to ServiceMethod attribute will resolve the issue.
I tried your code for Autocomplete without Webservice and didn't work on my page. When I tried it on a new project it works fine but on my project it does not. I have other controls on the page but that shouldn't stop it from working right?
Attached is my code
<%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/intranet.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="warehouse.aspx.vb" Inherits="warehouse" %>

I have defined a web service function for AutoCompleteExtender, but in addition to the two parameters passed "prefixText" and "count" i want to pass another parameter for a label in that function. So, how to define that ?
View 3 RepliesIn the tutorial for autocomplete text box for static page method in c# the following lines of code is given. When i use it my website using c# it gives error 'invalid term "in" showing in line 7.

I am using autocompleteextender to receive list of projects. Is there any way that, given list of projects can hold a hidden values like a dropdownlist? I need project ID as hidden value...so that when I select a project from the list, I can retrieve the ID using C#/ASP.Net.

i'm using visual web developer 2008 express edition, i added the ajax toolkit to the tools without issue. SOME tools, like the accordian (and others) allow me to drag and drop them onto my forms. but others, such as the autocompleteextender wil not allow me to drag and drop them onto a form. i just get a circle with a line through it (as if to say - this is not allowed) - why is that?
i tried coding the extender in manually like many examples i've seen online:
<cc1:AutoCompleteExtender TargetControlID="txtName" ServiceMethod="GetCustomers" ServicePath="AjaxService.asmx"
MinimumPrefixLength="1" ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server">
</cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>
but it underlines "cc1" and gives me the error: "unrecognized tag prefix"
what am i doing wrong?
I've got an AutoCompleteExtender on one of my pages, it seems to be working fine aside from this strange behaviour: Let's say I key in 2 characters, the suggestion list would display. When I press on backspace to delete those 2 characters, wait until the suggestion list to disappear, and re-enter those 2 characters, the suggestion list would no longer display (or sometimes would flicker for about a second after losing focus from the textbox) and I'll need to refresh the page just to get it working again.
However, if I do press backspace and delete those 2 characters but not let the suggestion list to disappear and re-enter new characters, it would continue displaying with correct suggestions. This behaviour seems to happen only in IE8, (although it works with IE8 using Compatibility View and Firefox)... My code is almost the same as the sample on this site except for the animations, and the service looks up in a database table.

I am using AjaxAutoCompleteExtender in my asp.net program (C#) . I am applying the extender to a texbox and using internal Web Service. I am getting the desired result, when i am running from the development environment. After Publishing the site to IIS, I am not getting the list and not showing any errors. I have turned off custom errors. My website is not an Ajax Enabled WebSite. So i added the lines into my Web.Config.I tried all service path.. http://localhost/Test/ WebService.asmxhttp://192.109.1.8/Test/WebService.asmxand i tried ~/Test/WebService.aspxWhile testing from the development environment, i am using the last one.I am not sure whether this is the problem with the service path or any permission issue.

When user enter the key the serach shows the "ProjectNumber-ProjectName" in the search result....after selecting any of this...only ProjectNumber is entered in the textbox (I am using hidden control to store key values)...everything works fine till here.Now I have a problem with values stored in the hidden control...for example in the text box there are three ProjectNumbers ..A,B,C....now I go ahead and delete all these three and enter the key word again...the search work fine but when I select any value the Text box is populated with old value (coming from hidden control) like A,B,C and then new value D
Please suggest me how I can assign the hidden text box value with the new text box values after the selection is done...
function KeySelected(source, eventArgs) {
var labelVal = document.getElementById('<%=this.Hidden1.ClientID%>').value;
var userValues = "";

Is the a way to have the Ajax drop down overlay other control on the page (currently I have a gridview and I cannot see much of the drop down)?
[code]....
Is it possible to set the font size of the drop down text. Also is there a way to limit number of dropdown lines and have a scroll control.
View 14 Repliesuse a textbox and the AutoCompleteExtender to search for the customer. For example, on the PurchaseOrder form, I have a textbox with a Customer field, and when I type in the name of the customer, the AutoCompleteExtender shows the possible matches.Now, it takes a few seconds to show the list of values, even with setting the correct values on the extender, and if the user types in the name of the company, e.g. Contoso, and leaves the textbox, there might be 2 Contoso's in the database. The AutoCompleteExtender does not continue when the user leaves the textbox, thus the CustomerId is not determined yet.
