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

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.

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.

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

I have a webform that I would like to use the autocomplete feature for all my textboxes. My textboxes are the <ASP:Textbox /> control. The only way I seem to be able to get autocomplete to work on the text boxes is to have an <INPUT type="submit"> control on my web page and then, after filling in a textbox to have the user hit ENTER (not TAB or clicking out of the box). They then have to tab to the next box, or click over. Of course,...

I have a form for entering a user's address and all fields have a required validating control associated with them and the error msg for each field displays right next to it. The normal behavior is that the error msg doesn't show unit the use hits the submit button or the user enters data and moves the focus to another control so the field becomes dirty. So far so good. Now when the user goes back to that control and starts to input data...

I know that there is a AutoComplete Property in the TEXTBOX ASP.NET WebControl in ASP.NET 2.0. Thus I can use AutoComplete.Disabled property in...

Is it possible to change the autocomplete behaviour to search for the word instead of just checking for the prefix? For example, if I have the following items: Big Mac Quarter Pounder Cheeseburger and someone types: Pounder, it should display "Quarter Pounder"?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
