Jun 2 2016 5:31 AM
Hi i have one field in my view. That field is Customer it is a dropdown field. In that i have keep dropdown as select option to select the value. But i like to change that field as Autocomplete dropdown.
 
 
 
 

In the above image I have customerName field as dropdown field but i keep it by search and select option. But now i like to change this to autocomplete dropdown like which is mention the in the below image.

enter image description here

 
 
My view Code
 
@Html.Label("Customer Name", new { @class = "control-label" })
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.CustomerID, new SelectList(string.Empty, "Value", "Text"), "Please select a Customer", new { @class = "form-control required", type = "text" })
 
My Jquery Code
 
$(function () {
debugger;
$.ajax(
'@Url.Action("GetVisitCustomer", "VisitorsForm", new { Area = "Sales" })',{
type: "GET",
datatype: "Json",
success: function (data) {
$.each(data, function (index, value) {
$('#CustomerID').append('<option value="' + value.CustomerID + '">' + value.DisplayName + '</option>');
});
}
});
});
 
 
 
My Controller Code to get Customers and load in the field
 
 
public JsonResult GetVisitCustomer()
{
var objCustomerlist = (from c in db.Customers where c.IsDeleted== false select c).ToList();
return Json( objCustomerlist,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

 The Code which i have tried
 
@Html.Label("Customer Name", new { @class = "control-label" })
@Html.TextBoxFor(Model=>Model.CustomerID)
 
My Jquery Code 
 
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
debugger;
$("#CustomerID").autocomplete({
source: function (request, response) {
$.ajax(
'@Url.Action("GetVisitCustomer", "VisitorsForm", new { Area = "Sales" })', {
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { term: request.term },
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data, function (item) {
return
{ label=item.CustomerID, value= item.DisplayName
};
}))
}
})
},
