Try Google with "VB autocomplete textbox".
There must be a dozen tutorials that I saw.

Thanks tlhintoq, i tried using those links but couldnt get any proper code... plz help

I think the idea is to learn from those tutorials, then write your own code. You can't expect to just find a piece of code that exactly matches your needs and be able to get away with nothing more than a copy/paste, then collect your paycheck.

If you make an effort to write your code for your autofill text box, but still need some help, just post what you've written and describe where it is not quite right and I'm sure the volunteers here will be happy to help you along.

Im very new to vb.net. Im a student and trying to learn it.
I tried following the instructions mentioned in different website and tried writing code. but it didnt work. anyways thanks :-)

Don't get discouraged. Just keep plugging away at it.

I would suggest you always do tutorials exactly the way they are written. Make them work as they were designed to. Once that works for you *then* start modifying them a little to see what that does. Only after you have a good handle on that tutorial should you try modifying it to meet your needs. If you jump straight to modifying to your needs and it doesn't work, then you don't know why.

This looks good idea :-) Thanks Tlhintoq :-)

You can also try using the Ajax Toolkit's AutoComplete Extender....
Or you could try JQuery's AutoComplete plugin
