You don’t need a reference to the webservice to used with the autocomplete extender, in your case the line should be :<cc1:AutoCompleteExtender ID="aceUser" runat ="server" ServicePath ="AutoComplete.asmx " TargetControlID ="txtEditUserName" ServiceMethod ="GetCompletionList" EnableCaching ="true"></cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>

sorry about my poor terminology. I have added the web service application to the project, added web reference.After doing this, a new folder is created "App_WebReferences" under that a localhost folder is created and 3 files are there.

AutoComplete.disco

AutoComplete.discomap

AutoComplete.wsdl

I can access the web service in a browser, the web service returns the data which is expected. I am using it with a autocompleteextender. Which path do I need to mention in the ScriptManager tag:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    <Services>
    <asp:ServiceReference Path ="AutoComplete.asmx" />
    </Services>
    </asp:ScriptManager>

Also, which path do I need to mention in the service path for the following line:

<cc1:AutoCompleteExtender ID="aceUser" runat ="server" ServicePath ="< > " TargetControlID ="txtEditUserName" ServiceMethod ="GetCompletionList" EnableCaching ="true"></cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>

<asp:ServiceReference Path ="AutoComplete.asmx" />

Thanks a lot for your help.

Have you added a web reference to the service? Right-click your WAP and use "Add Web Reference".

Also, let's please stop saying "when I hit F5". The effect of F5 can differ depending on what you have selected. Instead, let's start right-clicking on projects and using "Debug->Start new instance".

missed your question in the previous post:

I have tried to access the web service in browser and I still get the same error.

As I said, I have created one Web service application from

File> New > Project> ASP.NET Web Services Application , I have successfully created and can run and get the data using the web service. I have added that to my solution. Can u pls advise on how to consume that web service in my Web Application Project.. Thanks for all your help..

When I hit rebuild, again the same error. Could not create type test. While trying out on this. I have created one Web service application separately and tried to include all the methods in the existing web service and its created successfully now. I want to include this web service application in my project. I did the following steps:

Right click on my WAP solution > add existing project, browsed the project and added the project in my app. How do I use the web service application methods in my .aspx pages??

Forget about F5. Right-click the web service project and choose "Rebuild". Then try F5.

And have you ever tried accessing the service from a browser like I asked?

the name of the existing web service I am planning to use is AutoComplete. The webservice tag in that file is:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/AutoComplete.cs" Class="AutoComplete" %>

Since, that didnt work out, I created a new web service called test. tag is as follows:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/Test.cs" Class="Test" %>

both of them didnt work in my case.. Pls advise..

Try changing the tag to:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/AutoComplete.cs" Class="AutoComplete" %>

Since that seems to be the name of the .asmx file.

Are the web service and the Web Application Project in the same solution?

Yes, they are in the same solution.

What version of Visual Studio are you using, and what edition (Express, Professional, etc.)

VS2005 Team Edition for Software Developers with SP1 Installed.

Have you done a full build of the web service? Can you access the web service URL through a browser?

I could not build the page cos when I hit F5, it pops up with the error "Could not create type test"

The web service test is the one I have created to test whether any new web service added to the WAP works or not.

To be more specific about my case. I have a web application project which is converted from VS2003. The solution was compiled/built on a different computer and sent to me. Please note that the virtual directory is created under c:\inetpub\wwwroot. On my computer VS.NET is installed on D drive and so I copied the files to c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder and opened in my vs.net. I have added new aspx pages to the project and made lot of changes to it. Everything executes fine. But not this web service I created. Hope this helps.

I think you have a problem with the classes’ names, from you first post the WebService seems to be named AutoComplete, but in your codebehind file it’s named Test.

Hi,

My web service tag is given below:

<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/Test.cs" Class="Test" %>

I could see that in every page, the page directive is Inherits = "<projectdll>.<pagename>. Does this has to do some thing with the problem. any ideas???

Is the existing service built, up and running? Can you access it through a browser?
