Application.Unknown web method GetCompanyNames.

[Michel]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the component AutoCompleteBox with a local Webservice. But I got an issue.

So I run Fiddler webdebug, and I can see an error 500, in the detail, I saw:

POST http://localhost:49257/agent/Ws/_WS_SearchCity.asmx/GetCompanyNames HTTP/1.1

And the detail is:
