HI Team
I want to use something like the AutoCompleteExtender, however, if the user clicks on an item, I don't want that value to go into the text box.

Doesn't anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

AutoCompleteExtender is designed for showing the related results and when user clicks, fill it into TextBox.
AFAIK, I dont think your requirement can be fulfilled by the AutoCompleteExtender control.

You need to create your own custom control. Call your webservice from javascript( or using jQuery) and display it into the div that is below the textbox
