a combo box that starts off empty. The user can type int he combo box, and as
he types, after the third letter has been typed, the page does a lookup
against a database (SQL String) to our server, and populates the combo with
matches, and the combo box drops down so they can see them. There would be
two fields in the combo box, Firm Name and City. They could either pick from
the list or keep typing to narrow the search down. With each successive
keystroke (after three) we would execute the search again and re-populate the
listbox. For example, the user could type in "State" and would get a list of
maybe 30 matches for that text in a list or combo box above that name field
on the order form. They could then select from that list. If there were no
matches they could delete what they've typed and try again, or give up and
simply type out the whole name and address on the order form without using
the list.
I am using VS.NET 2003.
Please let me know how to achieve this
