            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: lookupURL,
                contentType: 'application/json',
                dataType: "json",
                data: JSON.stringify({ prefixText: request.term, count: 20 }),
                success: function(data) {
                    var output = jQuery.parseJSON(data.d);
                    response($.map(output, function(item) {
                        return {
                            value: item.Value,
                            label: (item.Label == item.Value) ? item.Label : item.Label + "(" + item.Value + ")"
                        }
                    }));
                },
                error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    alert(textStatus);
                }
            });
        },
        minLength: 2,
        select: function(event, ui) {
            $('#' + resultFieldName).val(ui.item.value);
        }
    });
}
