Hi,
I am using visual studio 2015 to develop a web application which would be having a search box whereupon it would return results while typing ( something similar to the site like screener.in ) . I am really confused with the versions of asp.net because i am using visual studio 2015 and most of the resultant projects (after googling them) are done in earlier versions. I tried using ajaxcontroltoolkit but failed ( codeproject.com/Articles/201099/AutoComplete-With-DataBase-and-AjaxControlToolkit )
Please help me to complete this with the codes
Thank you
Ritu

What I have tried:

www.codeproject.com/Articles/201099/AutoComplete-With-DataBase-and-AjaxControlToolkit
www.aspdotnet-suresh.com/2011/03/how-to-implement-auto-complete-textbox.html

The above were designed in previous versions of asp.net, so i don't know weather this should work in visual studio 2015
I really want a very simple way of solving it

Would suggest to try them first and if you face any issue, comeback here with the details of the issue.

I would suggest you forget about the AjaxControlToolkit and look at using the jQuery UI Autocomplete. It is much simpler to work with.

jQuery UI Autocomplete - Autocomplete | jQuery UI[^]

Using the jQuery UI Autocomplete with ASP.Net Webforms - Implement jQuery AutoComplete TextBox from database using AJAX PageMethods in ASP.Net[^]

It's hard to tell without your code. I would recommend create a new question and posting your code.
