You do not need the keyDown event otherwise you are rebinding the autocomplete on every keydown.

$(#txtName).autocomplete({

    source: '@Url.Action(GetAllName, Home)',

    select: function (event, ui) {

        $(#txtName).val(ui.item.value);

        return false;

    }

});

To show all results when one character is entered add minLength: 1

If what you want is to have all the items displayed when the textbox has focus then this is what you are looking for: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4604300/1398425
