Razor Web Pages Directory.GetFiles with Jquery Autocomplete

Question

User927770920 posted

Having successfully integrated an autocomplete function to one of my projects using mikesdotnetting article HERE, (nice facelift on the site btw Mike), I am now trying to implement the same but using a Directory.GetFiles command to autocomplete a filename lookup.

I realise this isn't confined to Webmatrix & Web Pages but as that is the environment I am working in I thought I'd see if anyone had successfully achieved this?

Current code is below:

Main Page:

        <div id="searchInput" class="searchInput">
        <br />
            <div id="searchdiv">Reg. Search: &nbsp<input type="text" id="search" name="search" class="search" /></div>
        <br />
        </div>

        <script>
            $(function () {
                $('.search').autocomplete({ source: '/lookups/lookup',
                                          minLength: 4 });
            });
        </script>

lookups/lookup.cshtml

@{
    var files = (@"\\server\insurance$\Information\BLANK FORMS - HEADER SHEETS\SWO\CLOSED CLAIMS\");
    foreach(var file in files){
        reg = file;
    }
    var term = Request["term"] + "%";
    var result = Directory.GetFiles(files,term, SearchOption.AllDirectories);
    var data = result.Select(p => new{label = p.???});
    Json.Write(data, Response.Output);
}

As you can see above, I have placed 3 ?'s where I am a bit stumped.

Using a DB Query, this would be the field to pull out of the DB but in this situation I am struggling to figure out what to replace it with?

Any help or points in the right direction would be great.

Cheers
