New Auto complete property in windows textbox and DropdownList in dot net 2.0
Hi

A new feature added to the Textbox and the DropdownList control in Dot net 2.0 is Auto complete. This allows the user to select the value from previously entered values. User’s recent history is used to display the values.

To enable the AutoComplete property we can use one the three values.

  • Suggest - Appends the rest of the suggested string to the existing entry. The suggested string appears highlighted.
  • Suggest - Displays a drop-down list populated with one or more suggested completion strings.
  • SuggestAppend - Implements both the Suggest and Append options.

The type of Auto complete values displayed can be controlled by AutoCompleteSource property

Hope this helps
Thanks
Vikram

Im not seeing this property in a Dropdown listbox control in Dot Net 2.0 can you tell me where I might find this?

I have a C# application where I am attempting to make the autocomplete functionality of my dropdown listbox behave the same way in IE as it already does in Firefox.
