Hello

Simple way is:
1. Bind a List to ComboBox
2. In TextChanged event of ComboBox:

C#

private void MyComboBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<string> myList = //Get it from a dataset or ...

    string text = ((ComboBox)sender).Text.ToLower();

    var names = myList.Where(n => n.ToLower().StartsWith(text));

    if (names.Count() > 0)
    {
        myList = names.ToList();

        //rebind MyList to combo ...
    }
}

Hi, When you are typing in ComboBox then it's events can be fire without problem. Do you want to type outside of the Combo?

As I said, You need a combobox and write the code in its TextChanged event. I explained it enough in my solution .
