Hi there,

In Web-based design a ComboBox is called DropDownList. You will find it in your standard toolbox.

DropDownList Class (System.Web.UI.WebControls) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Cheers!

Hi there,

You may also what to take a look at this:

but, BEWARE OF BROWSER COMPATIBILITY.

Click the "Try it Yourself" and see it working, I never got to use it, but it may serve your purpose.

Cheers!
As already mentioned,"out of the box", there's no "ComboBox" Control in ASP.NET WebForms standard controls collection. A DropDownList is the closest thing that you can use. However, a DropDownList doesn't act the same as what you would normally see in WinForms ComboBox. The AJAXControlToolkit suite is a set of extension Controls for the standard ASP.NET WebForms, thus you can't just pull the ComboBox control extension from it. What you do is either:

(1) Implement client-based AutoComplete feature with jQuery: Autocomplete | jQuery UI[^]
(2) Implement client-based AutoComplete ComboBox with JQuery: Autocomplete ComboBox | jQuery UI[^]
