Ajax autocompleteextender not workin gon my masterpage

Feb 24, 2012 03:56 PM|LINK

I am working with the Ajax control kit to add an autocomplete to my search textbox. I cannot get it to work using a PageMethod or a webservice on my masterpage. I was able to create a new page not using a masterpage and it worked. Here is my code.

Edit- I found out Page-Method does not work in a masterpage. I am still having trouble calling the web service though. I add a service refrence to it then add this to the extender "ServicePath="NameWebService.asmx"" I still get nothing. I check to see if the server side is getting hit and it is not.

<asp:ScriptManager ID ="ScriptManager2" EnableCdn="true" LoadScriptsBeforeUI="false"
            runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" />
    <asp:Panel ID="pnlSearch" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnSearch">

                        <asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" CssClass="textbox" placeholder="User Name/ Full Name"
                            runat="server" Width="200px" AutoComplete="off" />
                        <asp:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server"
                            TargetControlID="txtSearch" ServiceMethod="GetSearchResult"
                            MinimumPrefixLength="2"  />
                        <asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" CssClass="buttonSubmit" Text="Search"
                            onclick="btnSearch_Click" />

                    </asp:Panel>

This is my page method

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
        public static string[] GetSearchResult(string prefixText, int count)
        {
            List<Person> listPerson = Person.SearchForPerson(prefixText);
            string[] arrayNames = listPerson.Select(n => n.FullName).Take(count).ToArray();

            AbuseReport report = new AbuseReport();
            report.AbuserPersonID = -1;
            report.Message = prefixText;
            report.ReportingPersonID = -1;
            report.CreateAbuseReport();

            return arrayNames;
        }

This is my webservice

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    [System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
    // To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
    [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
    public class NameSearch : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        [WebMethod]
        public string[] GetSearchResult(string prefixText, int count)
        {
            List<Person> listPerson = Person.SearchForPerson(prefixText);
            string[] arrayNames = listPerson.Select(n => n.FullName).Take(count).ToArray();

            AbuseReport report = new AbuseReport();
            report.AbuserPersonID = -1;
            report.Message = prefixText;
            report.ReportingPersonID = -1;
            report.CreateAbuseReport();

            return arrayNames;
        }
    }  // End of Service

Hello

You mark up looks correct. You may place a break point to check if it goes to method in your werb service and debug your arrayNames, see if you get all correct string type.
