Very long list of Drop Down selection

I have drop down box with a lot of values list, with is not convienient for selection. I would like to make the selection easier, eg. when a user types characters in the drop down box and the drop down list can jump to the item that matches the typed characters.

How can I implement it? Thanks.

Thanks for the reference link.

In the link, the drop down list is provided by the variable
var data = "Core Selectors .... CSS Events Effects Ajax Utilities".split(" ");

My case is to get drop down list (asp:DropDownList) from property table from database.
I appreciate if I can get more directions on this. Thanks.

Thank you for the link. This should be what I'm looking for. I did some research. It seems that I have to use LINQ to get the value list value from db, right? I need more research on it.
