Autocomplete TextBox no find other words in string

[juliogyn]

I have this code for autocomplete:

foreach(string match in myList){
if( !string.IsNullOrEmpty(text_box1) ){

if( match.StartsWith(text_box1.ToString(),
StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) ){

    MessageBox.Show(match);
  }

}

}

In String "The follow me", case find "the", the string is show me. But case find "follow" or "Follow", is not show. I'm tried with Contains but not solved. What can i do ?

You are using StartsWith. If you look for "The follow", you will find the string output. What did you try with Contains?

With Contains, when find "follow" is show the complete string. But i try with "the fol" no show more, and "the Follow", example, to not show.

Try using IndexOf - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.indexof%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

Solved the problem with "||":

if( match.StartsWith(text_box1.ToString(),
StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) || match.Contains(text_box1) )

Tanks for all help
