Hi,

In ASP.NET, a request for a .ascx file will be?handled?by?System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler?HttpHandler,?that's?to?say,?it's?refused.
So you can't use a method in the UserControl, I suggest trying to use a web service(.asmx) to achieve this.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am declaring the autocompleteextender in the user control. So, should I give service path for the extender as .asmx file in the extender?

eg:

My ascx page:

<%

@.ControlLanguage="C#"AutoEventWireup="true"CodeFile="ctlAutoExtender.ascx.cs"Inherits="ctlAutoExtender" %>

<%

@.RegisterAssembly="AjaxControlToolkit"Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit"TagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" %>

<

tablecellpadding="0"cellspacing="0"border="0"width="100%"><tr><td><asp:TextBoxrunat="server"ID="myTextBox"Width="300"/>

<ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtenderrunat="server"ID="autoComplete1"TargetControlID="myTextBox"Enabled="true"ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"ServicePath="App_Code/WebService.cs"MinimumPrefixLength="3"CompletionInterval="1000"EnableCaching="true"CompletionSetCount="12"/></td></tr>

</

table>

Yes,?like?this:??ServicePath="the relative path of the .asmx file"
Thanks, that solved my problem.
