Question

but it is not working in the demo or in my project

Answer 1

I'd actually recommend moving towards using JQuery and webmethods. I've found that using the AJAX.NET library eventually paints you into a corner which is difficult to get out of. I've spent several years fighting with AJAX.NET and found that when I made the transition to JQuery and webmethods my life became 100% simpler.

There are lots of AutoComplete plugins that people have written which will use a backend webservice (asmx perhaps) to provide the data.
