Is the path to "AutoComplete.asmx" correct?  That will only work if the asmx file is at the same level as your aspx page.  Try giving it an absolute reference insteadm like

ServicePath="/AutoComplete.asmx"

You can use the browser tools to see if the code is trying to call your service, what url it is accessing and the result of that call.

Hi svibuk,

For your issue,please check if you have added the script attribute in your web service method:

[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod()]

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
