How to Add Autocomplete to TextBox in C#

Suggestion box to search field will simplify the user while searching for a person or product from database...In c# it is very simple to achieve autocomplete. use the below code in Textbox MouseClick Event or Create a method to write code and call it in the MouseClick Event. I am Doing this by creating a method named AppendSuggestion() follow the steps below...

1. Create method public void AppendSuggestion()

public void AppendSuggestion()
{

// create list of sujjestion

string [] suglist={"sabeer","shihab","shameen","shafi","hashim"};

//Create and initialise object source for AutocompleteStringCollection

var source = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();

source.AddRange(suglist);

txtboxSearch.AutoCompleteCustomSource = source;

txtboxSearch.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;

txtboxSearch.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;

}

* txtboxSearch is the TextBox object we are entering the serch query.

2. Now Create Event MouseClick for txtboxSearch ...and call the method AppendSuggestion() in it....Thats it...Done..!!

// TextBox Search Click Event

private void txtboxSearch_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{

AppendSuggestion();

}
