Hello,

 

I am trying to find an example of a WebCombo with the following features:

 

a.A drop-down suggesting values starting with the text entered in the textbox (similar to the example here:

http://live.intersoftpt.com/cs/WebCombo/EntryMode_AutoComplete.aspx?noframe=1&path=/WebCombo/Top%20Features/Time-saving%20Combo%20Features)

 

b.The list of options is retrieved from a class representing the business layer (no direct LINQ to SQL integration or similar)

 

c.The business logic layer receives as parameter the text typed in the textbox (so that the business layer does not have to query the database for all the items, but only for the items whose name starts with the string typed in the textbox)

 

An example would be a combo containing the whole population of United States, with pre-existing classes used for querying the database - you type A and you get the first 15 or so people whose name starts with a **retrieved by the business logic layer** (not queries from the web page etc).

 

An example using an ObjectDataSource would help in any case as we're using those as proxies for our Bussines Components calls.
