How to make AutoComplete control (JQeryUI) working?
Posted on 2011-09-21
Hi all,
i try to use autocomplete control of JQueryUI in my web form. i want to use a server side method to pass source to autocomplete. but dont know how to do it? i did research and found i may need to use web service. i am wondering whether there are ways i can pass source to Autocomplete without using webservice? or i have to use webservice?
attached the code, pls have a look.
thanks heaps

if you just click on the 'view source' on this page
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
you will see the example where the source is not from ajax response

Question you have asked is, whether it is mandatory for you to use web-service or not, right?
to which i have responded by showing an example where it is possible to use that plugin without web-service calling. So it means that, it is not mandatory to use web-service.

i want to get source from Database, i cannot just create a fixed array in javascript and pass it to Autocomplete. i am wondering how to pass source from database to autocomplete by using websevice or other ways? is there any sample code?
thanks

Hi,
You don't needed to write a webservice for it.
just make you method on page as WebMethod
[WebMethod]
public List<string> GetCommentary()
{
List<string> lstComm = new List<string>();
lstComm.Add("this is test 1");
lstComm.Add("this is test 2");
lstComm.Add("i am test 1");
return lstComm;
}

Ram

Hi viola123,
I am sorry but you need to write a webservice for implementing JQueryUi Autocomplete in Asp.Net.
Please find the samples below.

<<i want to get source from Database,>>
In that case, you need to fetch the info from the server. You can either do it via an ajax call to you servlet (or whatever server side script you are using) or by calling a web-service call.

You will make an ajax call at the EPR (end point reference), which will give response as XML, which you will parse and get the data
