Solution 3

you also can use this code

VB

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
        If Len(TextBox1.Text) >= 3 Then
            TextBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest
            TextBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.AllUrl
        Else
            TextBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.None
            TextBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.None
        End If
    End Sub

nice one :)

Rad.Application 13-Sep-12 6:55am

fill a dataview with your data and then use this

for i as integer = 0 to dataview1.count - 1
TextBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(dataview1(i)("coloumn_name").tostring)
next
