What do you mean by "autocomplete dropdownlist"?

You'll need to find some kind of jQuery plug-in that supports this. There is a basic autocomplete one in jQuery UI, google "jquery ui autocomplete" and you'll find it.

"DropDownList" may not work for you. Forget about "DropDownList". You will need here a jQuery plugin. find Here or make your own. concept is..

> bind your data to separate divs.
> hide them all.
> put a textbox and on that textbox's key event show filtered data(divs).
