You need to convert 'prefixText' into appropriate date format. Then it should be fine. Herez the code to convert prefixText into

C#

DateTime.ParseExact(prefixText,
          "dd'/'MM'/'yyyy",
          CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString();

Thaks for your replay,
Actually My problem is not related to date. data displayed in auto completion {"9/3","3/22","3/22e"} are foreign key in the form.

To read this value as string Just add double quote (") before and after values
ie String array look like {"/"9/3/"","/"3/22/"","/"3/22e/""}
and change my Web service as

C#

public static string[] GetCompletionList2(string prefixText, int count, string contextKey)
   {
       return (from m in fabcode where m.StartsWith("\""+prefixText, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) select @m).Take(count).ToArray();
       
   }

Now java script read "/"3/22/"" as string
