Well,what you see in Gmail or FaceBook login textbox is something different that your requirement. Those are the "AutoComplete" behavior of textbox.
I think you are looking for auto populate data from DB on key press. For that, you can look for AJAX library as CG suggested or using simple XMLHttpRequest .
Here is few sample that might help you

What you're looking for, is AJAX. The ASP.NET AJAX library has controls that do what you want.

What a strange way of showing a list? There is a ListBox control for this purpose, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.listbox.aspx[^].
