ASP.NET MVC jQuery Autocomplete HtmlHelper

Question

I was thinking about writing universal HtmlHelper for jQuery autocomplete wire up for ASP.NET MVC and I would like to know first if something like that already exists.

Also do you think it even makes sense to write one because so far even by myself I had 4 different scenarios for which I had to customize it (data from the datastore is almost always different and I always need some custom display of it, sometimes ID is the key, sometimes not)?

How do Ruby guys do it?

Here you have an example of such a helper. I found it very useful.

I wouldn't spend time developing a general solution of this, since it's already very easy to wire up. And, as you said, there's always different scenarios to cover.

Oh, and I'm a .net-guy, so don't ask me about the Ruby-part :)

Even being a very old question I've come to this today, and searching for others options I found this, and maybe it could help.

I think it's a good autocomplete helper implementation, but needs some improvements, mainly on the URL creation using those enums. Still worth a look and save some time.
