i am displaying countries in datalist from database. now i want search box. if i want to search a particular country in textbox and press enter, then that particular country should be visible in datalist.
how to do this with autocomplete extender. please kindly reply with some examples.
Why don;t you try
Combobox from AjaxControlToolkit. It offers the exact same behavior as per your requirement. The only difference would be it will display countries in dropdown rather than datalist.
Unless you want to search for countries matching a text, you could consider using a DropDownList with all Countries in it. Add an option for "All", and the user can easily pick the country.
