View page

@Html.TextBox("Country")

@Styles.Render("~/Content/themes/base/css")

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Country").autocomplete({
source: function(request,response) {
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/AutoCompleteCountry",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { term: request.term },
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data, function (item) {
return { label: item.Country, value: item.Country };
}))

}
})
},
messages: {
noResults: "", results: ""
}
});
})

here is the code of AutoCompleteCountry method that will accept a parameter and return the matching JSON data.

public JsonResult AutoCompleteCountry(string term)
{
var result = (from r in db.Customers
where r.Country.ToLower().Contains(term.ToLower())
select new { r.Country }).Distinct();
return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
