Solution 1

Maybe you can do it with a ComboBox, see CodeProject article: Auto Complete ComboBox[^]

Solution 2

create object on client side to store id and name.. bind that classitme with your combobox and set Displayname as name.
when you select the item you get the instance of that class where you can access the all properties.
