Metthod for pulling an address book from a Server cache file

Currently I'm using ASP.NET and am redoing an order form that has gotten overblown. What I like is what Yahoo uses to pull my address book(+ button besides the to: complete) in the email client. then uses it in the completes To: CC: etc. my current complete takes up to 2 seconds, thus confuses users. Would like to use the book dialogue.

Any advice would be appreciated?

Hello Victor.

If I understood correctly your needs, you are talking about AutoComplete widget.

You may give a look at Remote Data via DataSource example:

And if you're dealing with a large dataset, you might want to read this post by the Flickr guys: http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/03/18/ ... -searches/

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, actually 3 AutoComplete widget's in the same order page from the same Address book. My thought are twofold. If the Addressbook was pulled at page load I would be able to bind the AutoComplete widget's to the local array(or whatever it's called) for a pleasant user experience, and secondly they could use the addressbook to get the data. My users send packages to several places that have the same name and different locations making things confusing. The Widgets would be long enough to show a complete address string.

I'm basically looking for advice, the new form will use logic branching instead of my 5 page form, allowing a user to see and edit(hence the email client thought) the entire order. A simple envelope order could be done in 15 seconds, and a skid job in 30.
