Learn it using Google. You have to make some effort from your side also.

Thanks i used the ajax control toolkit.
Also i tried the other solutions too that you mentioned. but i couldn't use the onkeypress event in the textbox. could it be because of an older version i am running.
I only have OntextChanged event that can be used in my textbox.
