hey guyz,

Can anyone tell me how to get database data to a search textbox? im using html, jsp, servlet, java with DAO concepts. in here when I enter a letter (ex: ma) then it should show the list which are starting with "ma". Then user selects one of them. After user will see relavent details in that selection bellow. Is there any other possible ways?

apply auto complete extender from ajax tool kit in your aspx page as below

XML

<asp:TextBox ID="Item_Name" runat="server" Width="200px"
            ontextchanged="Item_Name_TextChanged" AutoPostBack="True" TabIndex="2"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server" CompletionInterval="500" MinimumPrefixLength="1" ServiceMethod="Getdata"
                        TargetControlID="Item_Name" UseContextKey="True">
        </asp:AutoCompleteExtender>

and in .cs file make a function as below

C#

[System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute(), System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethodAttribute()]
       public static string[] Getdata(string prefixText, int count, string contextKey)
       {
           SqlConnection con1 = new SqlConnection(Connection.getConnectionString());
           con1.Open();

           DataTable dt = new DataTable();
           SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
           SqlDataAdapter adap = new SqlDataAdapter("Your sql Query", con1);
           adap.Fill(dt);

           string[] main = new string[0];
           int j = dt.Rows.Count;
           for (int i = 0; i < j; i++)
           {
               //if (ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[0].ToString().ToLower().StartsWith(prefixText.ToLower()))
               if (dt.Rows[i].ItemArray[0].ToString().ToLower().Contains(prefixText.ToLower()))
               {
                   Array.Resize(ref main, main.Length + 1);
                   //main[main.Length - 1] = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[0].ToString();
                   main[main.Length - 1] = dt.Rows[i].ItemArray[0].ToString();
                   if (main.Length == 15)
                       break;
               }
           } con1.Close();
           Array.Sort(main);
           return main;
       }
