Re: AJAX - AutoCompleteExtender ASP.Net 2.0 (Page Method vs. Web S

Hello,

I've a working autocomplete extender using this schema:

In Codebehind:

[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod]
public static string MyMethod(string contextKey)
{}

In aspx site:

<ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender runat="server" ID="tbAutoCompleteExtender" TargetControlID="tbTextBox"
ServiceMethod="MyMethod" MinimumPrefixLength="2" CompletionInterval="1000"
EnableCaching="true" CompletionSetCount="12" />

Note that code-behind method must be in the .aspx file, even if the autocomplete extender is in a usercontrol.

Do you have the latest version of the Ajax toolkit installed? It's from february... so only a few days old.

Best regards,
Henning Krause

I applied [ScriptMethod] immediately after [WebService] and that didn't fix
it. Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Hello,

you'll have to specify the [ScriptMethod] attribute in addition to the
[WebService] attribute.
