Answer 1

Well, if you want to store in session using asp.net mvc3 then do the following

$(".autosearch-smart").autocomplete('Home/GetCompanyNames', {
    minChars: 1,
    width: 402,
    matchContains: "word",
    autoFill: true,
    select: function (event, ui) {   //must be cleared with function parameter
        //alert(ui.item.label);  //will show you the selected item

       $.ajax({
          type: 'POST',
          url: '/Controller/Action1',  //whatever any url
          data: {label: ui.item.label},
          success: function(message) { if(message.data == true) ... else ... },
          dataType: 'json'
       });

    }

});

and controller

[HttpPost]
  public JsonResult Action1( string label ) {

     this.Session["AnyValue"] = label;

     return Json( new {
        data = true
     }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet );
  }
