AutoCompleteExtender not working in DotNetNuke - autocomplete

Question

I am using DNN 6.0 and VS2008 AjaxControl Tool kit 3.5
I am trying to add ASP.NET AutoCompleteExtender to a text box in one of my modules in DNN.
As far as I know the AutoCompleteExtender works only through a webservice.
I've added a webservice, but I can not get the AutoCompleteExtender to work, I get no errors but the webservice never gets invoked, What am I missing or how can I get the ASP.NET AutoCompleteExtender to work?
Thank You

In my case it was the following problem:
ERROR MSG: Only Web services with a [ScriptService] attribute on the class definition can be called from script.
Try to put [ScriptService] as a definition of your web service class.
Example:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://dnndev/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
[ScriptService]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.
// [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class BusinessDataProvider : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod]
public string[] GetSpecificListOfContributors(string prefixText, int count)
{
return ContributorController.GetSpecificListOfContributors(prefixText, count);
}
}
I hope this one will help you.
Best,
