I m having problem when implementing autocompleteextender in visual studio 2008, where when i enter my any text in my textbox,it will automaticly capture the keywords and suggest words from database..no errors found,but it didnt works when i enter any keyword inside the textbox..
This is my aspx file :
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
        <Services>
        <asp:ServiceReference Path="AutoComplete.asmx" />
        </Services>
        </asp:ScriptManager>
        <div>
            <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="myTextBox" Width="300" autocomplete="off" />
            <ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender
                runat="server"
                ID="autoComplete1"
                TargetControlID="myTextBox"
                ServicePath="AutoComplete.asmx"
                ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"
                MinimumPrefixLength="2"
                CompletionInterval="1000"
                EnableCaching="true"
                CompletionSetCount="12" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>


This is my asmx.cs file:
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for AutoComplete
/// </summary>

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]

public class AutoComplete : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    [WebMethod]
    public string[] GetCompletionList(string prefixText)
    {
        DataSet dtst = new DataSet();
        SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["%$ ConnectionStrings:C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\DATABASE1.MDFConnectionString %"]);
        string strSql = "SELECT Company_Name FROM Table1 WHERE CompanyName LIKE '" + prefixText + "%' ";
        SqlCommand sqlComd = new SqlCommand(strSql, sqlCon);
        sqlCon.Open();
        SqlDataAdapter sqlAdpt = new SqlDataAdapter();
        sqlAdpt.SelectCommand = sqlComd;
        sqlAdpt.Fill(dtst);
        string[] cntName = new string[dtst.Tables[0].Rows.Count];
        int i = 0;
        try
        {
            foreach (DataRow rdr in dtst.Tables[0].Rows)
            {
                cntName.SetValue(rdr["CompanyName"].ToString(), i);
                i++;
            }
        }
        catch { }
        finally
        {
            sqlCon.Close();
        }
        return cntName;
    }
}

Should i modify any code part?
Can i use the autocompleteextender using sqldatasource to call database?
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
