How do I modify the AutocompleteExtender?

I want to extend the AutoCompleteExtender so that a if the search returns a large number of results, the first 10 results are displayed and the user is given some indication that there are additional matching results, with the option for them to fetch more results. Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to get started with this as I'm new to Atlas?

Hi,

I think it will be difficult to accomplish this task with the AutoCompleteExtender since it's not possibile to pass additional paramters to the auto-complete service method.

Thanks for the reply Garbin.

That seems a real shame since the nature of my application means that unless I can provide this functionality the AutoCompleteExtender is not going to be any use to me... back to the drawing board I guess!

This question doesn't involve the Atlas Control Toolkit; please try asking on one of the Atlas forums instead! Thanks!

How can I modify the AJAX Cascading Dropdownlist to use a Listbox as the last control

Hello - I have a need to modify the AJAX Cascading Dropdownlist where the last control is a listbox.

Just changing the last control to a listbox won't do it since I get the following error:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList'

To me it looks like the CascadingDropdownExtender.cs file would need to be modified but I am not sure where to start

The problem is that the targetcontrol on the extender is set to DropDownList instead ListControl which is more inclusive. You couldopen a work item for this and we will look into fixing this.
