Auto Complete textbox

Balwinder_singh

I am trying to run this for auto complete. Everything is working fine, but getting error Return From m In country Where m.ToString.StartsWith(prefixText, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) Select m Take (count).ToString.ToCharArray :laugh: Public Function GetCompletionList(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer) As String() Dim country As String = ("India", "UK", "Indonesia", "Japan", "Sri Lanka", "Singapore") ' Return matching movies Return From m In country Where m.ToString.StartsWith(prefixText, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) Select m Take (count).ToString.ToCharArray End Function Please suggest what needs to be corrected.

Maybe this?

Dim country() As String = ("India", "UK", "Indonesia", "Japan", "Sri Lanka", "Singapore")

I have tried this also still the same. I have added the script manager and the autocomplete to the textbox. The command is actually to auto suggest when the enduser types alphabet. Say in case he types ind the webpage should suggest India Indonesia. I think there is some problem with the command used below but couldnt figure out what needs to be changed. Dim country As String = ("India", "UK", "Indonesia", "Japan", "Sri Lanka", "Singapore") ' Return matching country Return From m In country Where m.ToString.StartsWith(prefixText, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) Select m Take (count).ToString.ToCharArray

Didn't see it in the copy/paste, but your country array also is using parenthesis instead of curly-braces...

Dim country() As String = {"India", "UK", "Indonesia", "Japan", "Sri Lanka", "Singapore"}

Perhaps you were wanting something like this?

Module Module1

Sub Main()
    Console.WriteLine(getCountry("In"))
    Console.Read()
End Sub

Function getCountry(ByVal prefixText As String)
    Dim country() As String = {"India", "UK", "Indonesia", "Japan", "Sri Lanka", "Singapore"}
    ' Return matching country 
    Return (From m In country Where m.StartsWith(prefixText, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) Select m).First()
End Function

End Module

Try using the auto complete with a web Method! adding up of the function

<WebMethod()>
Public Function blabla(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer) As List<String>
Dim country As String = ("India", "UK", "Indonesia", "Japan", "Sri Lanka", "Singapore")
Dim Qry = (From m In country Where m.ToString.StartsWith(prefixText, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) Select m).Take(count)
Return Qry.ToList
End Function

I don't remember 100% Vb but it may work :) good luck and don't forget the

ServiceMethod="blabla"
ServicePath="MyPage.aspx"

in the Extender
