Hi,
I am using an auto-complete extender to get suggestion of records.I have used web service for it.Now when I type a letter it gives me a list of 200 records.I want to display only 10 records and rest of the records in a type of scroll-bar, as it occupies my entire page in showing those 200 records at once ruining the entire design of page.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 There is a property in the auto-complete extender "CompletionSetCount". Set it to 10 and it will display only 10 records.

 Also in the code behind the service method that is being executed you need to pass the count. for eg:10.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
