[How Do I:] Use the ASP.NET AJAX ListSearch Extender?

This video demonstrates the use of the ListSearch extender control from the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit. The ListSearch extender enhances DropDownList and ListBox controls so that a user can select an item in the list by simply typing its first few characters. This enhancement improves the user experience by providing an intuitive way of selecting an item from a long list.

Is there a way to set the search section to have a look/feel of a TextBox?

Hello Joe,

I am having a problem with the extender. I am using this extender with a dropdownlist which has number for example 1 to 100. when I type 10 in the dropdown, 100 gets selected. Even when I type 1, 100 gets selected. Can you tell me how to solve this problem? Here is the code I am using

<ajaxToolkit:ListSearchExtender id="LSE" runat="server"

TargetControlID="ddlReceipt"

PromptText="Type to search"

PromptCssClass="ListSearchExtenderPrompt"

PromptPosition="Top"

IsSorted="true" QueryPattern="StartsWith" />
