I am using the autocomplete extendor with this code:

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
    public static string[] GetNames(string prefixText, int count)
    {
        DBprojectModel1.DBprojectEntities1 context = new DBprojectModel1.DBprojectEntities1();

        return context.Pupils.Where(n => n.FullName.StartsWith(prefixText)).OrderBy(n => n.FullName).Select(n =>
        n.FullName).Take(count).ToArray();
    }

eveything is work ok, however I dont want all the data from the SQL DataBase. I want to filter it with a DropDownList

but when I try to use drpSchool.SelectedValue inside the function it doesnt recognize it.
how can I use dropdown list from the page inside this function?

thank you !
