Add “[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]” before the class declaration

[System.Web.WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")] 
[System.Web.WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)] 
[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]
public class WebService : System.Web.Services.WebService {
...
...
...

if it is already in your code, You could check the service path. Use Fiddler or Firebug to see if there is an actual call to the service. if not working then set the servicepath from paga_Load event of your aspx page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load  
   If Not Page.IsPostBack() Then
      AutoCompleteExtender2.ServicePath = ResolveUrl("~/mywebservice.asmx")                    
   End If
End Sub
