Hi Harry, You have to add property in below control. You are missing in your mark up. add like below "ScriptManager1" runat= "server" EnablePageMethods = "true" > "6" ID= "txtfirstname" placeholder= "Full Name of Comapany" runat= "server" class = "input ui-tooltip" MaxLength= "110" title= "Please enter slowely name." > "auto1" runat= "server" TargetControlID= "txtfirstname" MinimumPrefixLength= "1" EnableCaching= "false" CompletionSetCount= "1" CompletionInterval= "100" ServiceMethod= "Getfirstname" >

Hi Jignesh, Thank you for the reply. I have added one web service and created a method called Getfirstname. comming to web method ,I have already used '[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]' but Autocompleteextender is not working

Hi Harry, I think you are missing property in autocompleteextender. Please add this property to autocompleteextender ServicePath= "YourServiceFile.asmx" // Your .asmx file name here Above you WebMethod just put [System.Web.Services.WebMethod] public static List string > Getfirstname( string prefixText) { }
