    I'm coding a ASP.NET webApp using VB.NET backend I have a dropdown list in a with about 1000 employees If someone is looking for "john smith", i would like them to be able to type "j" which would narrow it down to the "j"'s and then "o" which would narrow it down further to just the "jo"'s currently when i type "j" then "o" it will narrow it down to the employees with "o" as the first letter of their name. Is there a way to do this with a dropdownlist control? or does anyone know of a custom control out there? Thank you in advance Colum
