Implement AJAX Auto-complete From SQL Database Using VB?
Oct 15, 2008
I'm trying to tie the AJAX autocomplete control to a textbox and pull the results from an sql database using VB. Anyone know how to do this? I found plenty of examples in c but I need to do it in VB. Here's code for C I guess but I can't figure out how to convert it to VB.
[WebMethod]
public string[] GetCountryInfo(string prefixText)
{
int count = 10;
I'm trying to use an ajax auto complete extender, but it's not working. I put a break point on the GetCompanyNames method in the web service, but it doesn't even hit the break point.
Here is my ajax autoextender <asp:TextBox TabIndex="1" ToolTip="* Required - enter the Company name" ID="txtCompanyName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender runat="server" ID="acCompanyName" TargetControlID="txtCompanyName" ServiceMethod="GetCompanyNames" ServicePath="~/WebServices/AutoComplete.asmx" MinimumPrefixLength="1" EnableCaching="true"> [Code] .....
I don't want to use a webservice to populate an autocomplete extender on a textbox. In this case, it's where the user is entering email addresses and I don't want to make a trip to the database every single time. I'd much rather keep a collection in session state and 'bind' the autocomplete to that.
Is it possible to set ServicePath and/or ServiceMethod to something in the codebehind as opposed to a webservice?
I have a combo box with autocomplete binded to a database. I would like it to return, or at least assign to variables specific columns in the same row to a label when I press the button. I read something about Tag and Text in the label section but couldnt quite figure it out.
i want to make a textbox suggest all possible inputs based on a certain column in my database. for example, i have a country column in the database and i want my textbox to display all countries from my database column that starts with P when i type it and so on
How to make an auto complete that gets it's data from my database because what I only know is that to make a auto complete from the given auto complete source but what if my auto complete source is my database how can I do that?
I am working on a windows application where i need to use the autocomplete functionality in text box and it should take values from the data base.[code]...
I am using two autocomplete textboxes and both of them are binding data from the same table. What I want is when I select an item from the autocomplete drop down list of textbox1 not to have the textbox2 value set. Example :
When I select value1 for textbox1 I get automatically value2 in textbox2. I do not want that.I want when I select value1 for textbox1 , textbox2 to remain empty until I select a value for it (it maybe value3)
I am trying to set autocomplete for a textbox using data from a column in a table an Access database. Some of those records in the table have no values. I have set the AutoComplete Mode property to SuggestAppend and the AutoCompleteSource property to CustomSource. When I run the application nothing happens when I type into the textbox. The dataset is called DatabaseDataSet and the table name in the database is called Simple and the specific field/colum is called SIM_TAG1
'Create customsource for tag textboxes to suggest tag terms based on what is in database Dim oTag As New AutoCompleteStringCollection() For Each term As DatabaseDataSet.SIMPLERow In Me.DatabaseDataSet.SIMPLE
The VB.Net desktop app uses the IE browser control to navigate the web. When a normal page loads the document_complete event fires and I can read the resulting page and go from there. The issue I am having is that the page I am driving is written with AJAX, so the document complete event never fires. Furthermore, when you view the source of the page after it loaded a new portion via AJAX, it hasn't change.
I want to implement a treeview in my project using vb.net and ajax.
im using a gridview to fetch and show the data. and i want to implement the treeview inside the grid. its like the name of a person is shown in the gridview and when i click the plus sign or anything next to it it expands with its details. im using sql for retriving the datas.
So I was reading a bit on AutoComplete of textboxes in VB.NET, but I can't really understand where these are stored? Is it a fully built in feature, or do I have to write some code for it to work? I've found the AutoCompleteMode and AutoCompleteSource properties of textboxes.But I want to append whatever I've written in the textbox to the autocomplete source. Do I connect the source to My.Settings or something
I have datagridview containing 4 columns with 2 combobox. With the initial loading of datagridview I could select an item with the combobox, but when I tried to select an item with other combobox I've got an error showing "System.ArgumentException:
I have a problem with my coding to autocomplete textbox. nothings happen
Dim col As New AutoCompleteStringCollection NewDataSet("select * from tbluser") If ds.Tables("0").Rows.Count > 0 Then For i = 0 To ds.Tables("0").Rows.Count - 1

Im currently diving into jquery autocomplete for the first time. To start off with, I had a .net handler calling out to a mssql db and pulling last names. That worked great.However when I try to add additional values it simply doesnt work. The code being used in the handler is as follows.
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest Dim prefixText As String = context.Request.QueryString("term") Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection
[code]....
I didnt include the IsReusable when posting, but that is there. why it doesnt like multiple values but will display one lone value?
** Edit ** I just looked in Firebug and it is getting a response but just not displaying it. My implementation of this is pretty simple so far, nothing to fancy.
I have a ComboBox in my WinForm which has data from SQL server (used LINQ to bring up the data). I'd like to have an option just like AutoComplete in VB.NET but not only by the first letter but for a search LIKE.
What is the best approximation algorithm to implement full-text fuzzy search. For example we have a dropdownlist with the following data (from SQL datasource):
Company Policy Product Catelog Our Partners
Now I want to replace it with an autocomplete textbox, such that when the letter "p" is typed the list shows all three results. It should start matching the first letter of the first word or second word and so on. Also, it should highlight or make the matched letters bold in the suggestions dropdown.Is there a readymade control for ASP.NET (with JS or jQuery) to deliver all the aforementioned functionality? Otherwise if I have to implement it, is there a tutorial/blog which point me in the right direction?
I'm having troubles with my datagridview. Id like to use a combobox that you could type into and (as you are typing) would update the drop down list with the ability to use wildcardsThe list is populated with a table in my database. I know how to do this using just a combobox on a form, but I'm still learning everything with datagridviews.Is there a way to do this with a combobox in datagridview? If not, is there a way to do it any other way (i.e. using a textbox and having something pop up like the autocomplete windows)? I really would like to have the ability to use wildcards with this
I would like a fulltext autocomplete functionality for a Combobox. Built-in autocomplete only filters those items, that match the written text from the first letter. Is there any 3rd party components that has fulltext autocomplete? Or do I need to make functions myself?
i have a combobox with autocomplete to listitems it works very fine if i wrote the first letter it suggests a list of items that starts with this letter. i need to make it work if i write any part of the word not only the first letter?
I would like to know if it's possible to code Auto-completion for a RichTextBox control. I would also like to know how to load a .lua file into the RichTextBox
I'm using the AutoComplete function of a TextBox to suggest values from a database to the user. This works almost as expected. However, I do have two questions that I can't seem to find the answer to...
1) Is it possible to change the function that selects the items to display in the AutoComplete dropdown such that it will also select strings that match anywhere else than at the beginning? For example, when I type 'apple' I want that to match 'Apple' but also 'I have an apple!'.
2) Is it possible to change that same function to sort the options? (In my case based on how often they exist in the database.)
