I'm able to create a List<> of strings and show it in a AutoCompleteExtender, but how can I make these suggestions clickable links? I figured, I could create a List of HyperLink objects, but they just show up as [Object] in the list. Any suggestions?

In simple words, I want to be able to click suggestions from the AutoSuggest list.

Will I need to use some kinda client side script?

Have you tried returning an anchor HTML as the string for your items? – Justin Harvey Nov 06 '12 at 12:12

Have you tried using Suggestion in text property? – Usman Khalid Nov 06 '12 at 12:52
Tried it. Doesn't work. :( The suggestions just show up with raw html. Not as clickable links. – rgshenoy Nov 07 '12 at 04:50
The service method I'm using returns a array of strings. I tried making these strings html markup for a href and that didn't work. – rgshenoy Nov 07 '12 at 05:25
