      Google around about auto completing textboxes. There are articles on this site about it...

          Are you planning on querying the database each keystroke for the autocomplete? If so, it may hurt performance.

            oh really? but surely i need to look for the database field.. e.g. name in the database.. what is the suggestion by the way? do i suppose to display out all the data to listview.. then only use autocomplete to do it ?

              That'd probably be the better approach.
