how to call query from web service..

[ieda]

Hello,

I using ajax autocomplete in gridview to select the data. Once i select the data from textbox gridview i want the other textbox in gridview display related data. i use a javascript and put it in markup to call the webservice query and ajax autocomplete in app code. The problem is when i select the data using ajax the data from other textbox not display..

Here is an example...

This coding ajax to select the data from gridview textbox name task_person:-

 if (field_txtbox.ID == "task_person")
                    {
                        AjaxControlToolkit.TextBoxWatermarkExtender twe = new AjaxControlToolkit.TextBoxWatermarkExtender();
                        twe.ID = "twe" + field_txtbox.ID;
                        twe.TargetControlID = field_txtbox.ID;
                        twe.WatermarkText = "person";
                        Container.Controls.Add(twe);
                        AjaxControlToolkit.AutoCompleteExtender autosuggest = new AjaxControlToolkit.AutoCompleteExtender();
                        autosuggest.ID = "autoSuggest" + field_txtbox.ID;
                        autosuggest.ServiceMethod = "GetMember";     
                        autosuggest.TargetControlID = field_txtbox.ID;
                        autosuggest.CompletionSetCount = 50;
                        autosuggest.EnableCaching = true;
                        autosuggest.MinimumPrefixLength = 3;
 
                        autosuggest.OnClientItemSelected = "test";
 
                        Container.Controls.Add(autosuggest);
 
                    }

This coding in web service:-

<WebMethod()> _
   <Script.Services.ScriptMethod()> _
   Public Shared Function GetDept(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer) As System.String()
 
        Dim iCount As Integer
 
        iCount = 10
 
        Dim items As New List(Of String)(count)
        Dim ds As New DataSet()
        Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=202.75.36.58;Initial Catalog=PGB_POD_IMS;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=pgbuser;Password=p@ssw0rd"
        Using connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
            Dim sql As String = "SELECT user_department FROM m_user WHERE user_fullnm LIKE '%" + prefixText + "%'"
            Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter()
            adapter.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, connection)
            adapter.Fill(ds)
        End Using
        For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Rows
            items.Add(dr("user_department").ToString())
 
        Next
        Return items.ToArray()
 
    End Function

This is javascript function:-

function test()
    {
     document.getElementById('TableGridView_ctl06_task_department').value='result';
    }

I just use the word result to pass value to ensure the function can pass the data or not. I don't know how can i use the java script function to call the web service query. Please anybody correct my code..
