title: Trying to get a simple example of asp.net ajax dropdownlist autocomplete extender to work!
body: <p>I want to test the dropdownlist autocomplete ajax extension to work. I am testing this in Visual Web Developer Express 2008.</p>
  
  <p>1) I dropped a textbox on the default.aspx form
  2) Dropped a scriptcontrol from the Ajax Toolbox
  3) Extended the Autocomplete extension to the textbox</p>
  
  <p>BTW, at this point, if I display the properties for the AutoCompleteExtender, the ServicePath property is black. If I click there, VWDE2008 crashes (!)</p>
  
  <p>I want a simple way to test the Autocomplete function, preferrably without setting up a webservice (or if using a webservice, with a simple explanation). I would like to display the options from a simple C# List, for example, of cities, like:</p>
  
  <p><code>Copenhaguen, Denmark</code><br>
  <code>Miami, Florida, USA</code><br>
  <code>Paris, France</code></p>
  
  <p>declared directly in the code (not read from a database). At this point, most people are suggesting using jquery instead. I have not been able to find a SIMPLE (non-video) tutorial to set this up!</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
