i want to use autocomplete filter to filter some fields before inserting new values;
i tried to google but what i found is how to use autocomplete filter with list.aspx and details.aspx pages and couldn't find any related topics on how to implement autocomplete filterwith insert.aspx pages.
let us say that there is sales table and customer table;
the sales table has a field for customerId ;
what i want to do is in the insert new sales there is a autocomplete text box for customer name which result in inserting customerId in the sales table;
I am currently trying to understand some of your hierarchical solutions. I have seen them and I am very pleased with the ChangingAware one. Nevertheless, I find difficult trying to do the cascading beyond the second level because I need
the second dropdownlist to be of two kinds at the same time: ChildChangingAwareFieldTemplate as to consume the event fired by its parent and also of the ParentChangeNotifyingFieldTemplate as to fire the event which should be consumed by the third dropdownlist.
Is there a way of making a single control both: parent and children at the same time Thank you
I would like to explain the reason why I like the ChangingAware version: I have understood how to make my own filtering inside
PopulateListControlt(DropDownList1) which is a quite simple than trying to understand more complex versions of cascading like “Part 3 – A Cascading Hierarchical Field Template & Filter for Dynamic Data (http://csharpbits.notaclue.net/2010/06/part-3-cascading-hierarchical-field.html)”

You will have to implement the autocomplete Idea on the field template.

That article should get you started!

Yes, that is not used for that I use the cascading Filters and FieldTemplates see these articles I now prefer the second set of controls now in DD4

Thank you . If I have understood, “Communicating Between FieldTemplates in Dynamic Data (UPDATED) (http://csharpbits.notaclue.net/2009/05/communicating-between-fieldtemplates-in.html)” has been superseded by “Cascading or Dependant Field Templates for ASP.Net 4.0 Preview (http://csharpbits.notaclue.net/2009/03/cascading-or-dependant-field-templates.html )”. Is that correct? Thank you again.
