A more advanced AutoCompleteExtender?

I've been playing around with the AutoCompleteExtender and it's pretty easy to use. Is there anyway to better control when to call the webservice? For instance, right now it calls the webservice after the 3rd character of a textbox is typed in. What happens if i want the webservice called on the first or second character is type in? Is this possible?Hi,

yes it is, but you have to modify the Extender control. Checkthis article from my blog.
Ah, extending the control. Thanks, and good tips on your blog too. Subscribed.

Looks like the MarchCTP bits has a MinimumPrefixLength property for the AutoCompleteProperties class. So no need to modify the Extender control anymore.Cool [cool]
