Hello,
In my combobox have some list of names.When i select particular name then the list of names keep remain open as it is.

Suppose i type letter "A" then display list of all names which starts by letter "A".Currently i jus display name which type by name but not able to show whole list .How to do it?

Example:In google search engine when we type any letter then display lisy of all items which starts by typing letter.Like that i want it.

4 solutions

All items which start with the characters typed in the combo box can be shown by setting the following properties of ComboBox
DropDownStyle[^], AutoCompleteMode[^] and AutoCompleteSource[^]
as shown below:
C#
comboBox1.DropDownStyle= ComboBoxStyle.DropDown;
comboBox1.AutoCompleteMode =  AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
comboBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems;

Settin the ComboBox.DroppedDown property to true should do the trick.

This is not a solution.
Use the "Have a Question or Comment" facility like you did on Solution 1 and Solution 4 instead.
Your requirement is something like Autocomplete Extender in Ajax.
