It does not work like this here.

Here is what is expected of enquirers:
1. TRY first what you want to do! You may find that it's not that hard.
2. Formulate what was done by you that looks like an issue/not working.

Try them and tell if you face issues.
Members will be more than happy to help like this.

For now, since you have not mentioned winforms or web, will not share any link. Here is the logic:
Winforms: Have a combobox with autocomplete property true such that typing start characters show all the possible names.
Web: Having the functionality client side would make sense and give better useability. So, place a textbox, define a onkeypress for it and then using AJAX, get the data related to it from server, bind and show in a div below textbox (to show it as a dropdown). You can use ASP.NET AJAX extender too for it. Other option is to have jQuery autocomplete plugin.

Now, go ahead, try out and then post specific issue if you face.
