.autocomplete is not a function Error

Question

below is my My Code

Answer 1

My issue ended up being visual studio catching an unhandled exception and preventing the script from running any further. Because I was running in the IDE, it looked like there was an issue when there wasn't. Autocomplete was working just fine. I added a try/catch block and that made the IDE happy.

 $.ajax({
            url: "/MyController/MyAction",
            type: "POST",
            dataType: "json",
            data: { prefix: request.term },
            success: function (data) {
                try {
                    response($.map(data, function (item) {
                        return { label: item.Name, value: item.Name };
                    }))
                } catch (err) { }

            }
        })
