I would like to integrate an autocomplete feature with my dnn search.  Eventually I would like to configure a webservice the pulls the names of the documents contained on my site and populates the autocomplete (dnn search box) with these titles.  Does anyone have any experience with this that can explain how this can be done.  I have tried several different web controls, most of which work fine by themselves, but most don't play well within DNN much less are able to be integrated with the dnn search.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

        Currently I hope DNN doesn't provide such kind of functionality but it can be easily done. While skinning the search box, put a "AutoCompleteExtender" from AjaxControlToolkit and club it with dnn:search box. The autocomplete extender will take the address of the webservice.

Thanks

The example provided on the asp.net site uses an Ajax Control Toolkit Web Site as an example.  This isn't the same as DNN.
Do you know of any DNN examples using the search box specifically.  I can manage to get one to work in a module, but not with the search control.

I think I may have found the solution to my own problem.
The current ASP toolkit uses .NET Framework 3.5. and doesn't work.

To work with DNN (.NET 2.0) you must use Toolkit version 1.0.20229

And by the way, I'm not advocating DNN provide this functionality.

It still doesn't work, even using toolkit version 1.0.20229

I added the control to my skin file and I get the following error message: Only one instance of a Scriptmanager can be added to the page.
