Are you inside a script block? Or just in the middle of "normal" HTML? From the very bottom of this page:
http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/autotext.asp
>> Autotext for HTML, XML and ASP files is available only inside script blocks. The IDE might offer assistance in other code.
So I suspect the same applies to other listboxes. |

I was in a partial code behing class,(ie double click on designer face to get code behind, not in the HTML/Designer view
Just writing code against a declared dataset , say processDataSet
"pds" should work and didn't.

Personally I have no experience with ASP or websites, so I am not quite sure where to start.
Using VS2005, VA 1561, I have just created a new default ASP.NET C# website project, on the theory this was similar to what you are using.
In the file "Default.aspx" at the bottom of the page I can toggle between "Design" and "Source". Setting the page to "Design" and simply double clicking on the page with the mouse moves me into the file "Default.aspx.cs"
This looks like a fairly standard C# file, where the class is derived from "System.Web.UI.Page" Inside the function Page_Load, which is where I was dropped, I started typing "proCol", this is filtering the listbox quite happily, and listing among other things "PropertyCollection".
Am I looking in the right place? Or am I off testing completely the wrong thing?
If I am doing the right thing, initially at least listbox filtering is working quite happily for me. |

Hi
Yep right path
Now create a variable ProcessDataSet (in my case this is strongly typed from DS object)
Now type in full (just to make sure VAX understands the variable name)
ProcessDataSet = xyz
Now type the acronym
pds and <Tab> nothing is suggested ?
That was my query , the 3 letter pds works fine in a windows app but seems not in ASP
I too have only just started in ASP (exam 4 !!! MCSD) and am not sure if I'm missing something

This is what I am seeing, using the project as described:
I am wondering if my test setup is to simple, but it is "just working" for me, so the fact it is not working at all for you is strange.
Can you try turning:
VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> allow acronyms VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> allow shorthand VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> shrink when possible
all off, retrying, and then turning them all on again, and retrying, just to see if this makes any difference. |

Hi I got it by trial and error
it was a VS setting
I went Tools > Options>Text Editor > C# > Intellsense
and checked
Show Completion List after Character is Typed
It didn't seem to bother in Win Apps but in ASP it did
All fixed , thanks for the help
I will upgrade to 1614 , I have already downloaded but haven't had time to load yet
Cheers Mike |
