When you say you want to use it for entering text, do you want to be able to add a completely new value to the drop-down list, or just type in text to find an item that is already in the list?

hi frnd,
suppose we are entering an employee id (primary key) in the combo box, thus entered text is to be insert in the database and as well as the entered text is to be add to that combo-box list.
While we are selecting an id avail in that list and It need to retrive data's from the database belonging to it (like Autopostback option in ASP.net).
How to do, Please Guide me.......

Well, you can hook up to the SelectedValueChanged event and put your code in there to automatically reload data from the database with the current ID number. You could also add your processing code there for adding new items.

You should use textbox for entering data instead of combo.
