Solution 1

In the SelectedIndexChanged event handler of cboSearch, just clear cboNames and fill only the names with the according starting letter in there.

You can get the selected letter with (string)(cboSearch.SelectedItem)

Yeah, I use SelectedIndexChanged event handler.I use list of Sort() because I've already saved some data in List,as well.e.g,
private void cboSearch_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
namelist.Sort();
}
