Hi,

I am using autocompleteextender for a textbox that has to display string values in the form  'xxx-xx-xxx'. But, while displaying, it performs subtractions xxx (minus) xx (minus) xxxx and displays a resultant value 'yyyy' instead of ('xxx-xx-xxx'). How can I get around this?

ASPX code:

<asp:TextBox ID="txt" runat="server" />
<cc1:AutoCompleteExtender ID = "ace" runat="server"
TargetControlID="txt" MinimumPrefixLength="1" ServiceMethod="GetValues"
EnableCaching="false" >
</cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>

code behind:

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
    [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]
    public static List<string> GetValues (string prefixText)
    {
        return values from here // i  have printed the list values here . they are correctly formed 'xxx-xx-xxxx'
    }

Thanks!!

I wouldn't have believe it unless I tried it and saw it myself.  It's nuts!  Here's a page that claims has a solution:

Edit: I can now confirm that this workaround does work.

Great!!! That solved my problem. Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!
