Hi,

I have an auto complete box as search box in my application. i bind it with a list that comes from the service. When i enter any test it has to display the intellisense list that matches the text in the auto complete box.

How to do that. Please help.

namespace Auto { public partial class AutoComplete : Form { public List str = new List (); public AutoComplete() { str.Add("one"); str.Add("two"); str.Add("three"); str.Add("four"); str.Add("five"); str.Add("six"); InitializeComponent(); } } } The above code should be in Auto.cs file and where as in the Auto.designer.cs file you should do like this: for (int i = 0; i { this.textBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(str[i]); } this.textBox1.AutoCompleteMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteMode.Append; this.textBox1.AutoCompleteSource = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource; this.textBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(70, 12); this.textBox1.Name = "textBox1"; this.textBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(244, 20); this.textBox1.TabIndex = 0; which should do the job?

this.textBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.AddRange(new string[] { "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven"}); this.textBox1.AutoCompleteMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteMode.Append; this.textBox1.AutoCompleteSource = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource; Instead of the string in the above code add your list from which you want to get strings.
