Editable Dropdown list control in ASP.NET 2.0

Hi,

The canned ASP.NET DropDownList control does not allow the user to enter
arbitrary text and the user must select one of the available options.

What is the easiest way to get the ASP.NET DropDownList control to behave
like the Windows Forms ComboBox control?

Thanks,
Amit
