How is the drop-down currently populated (the one you have now)? Is it databound or are the items added arbitrarily? Do you need the item that the user enters to be added to the drop-down or just entered for form submission?

Hi..<br />
you can use data template.<br />
step 1:<br />
put TextBox in data template &amp;&nbsp;give key name.<br />
step 2:<br />
write another data template,<br />
in data template first take drop down box.<br />
inside Drop Down Box put &nbsp;ListBox &amp;&nbsp;assign your data to the ListBox .<br />
now you get one property like display member in Drop Down Box, give the key name to this property (Which you have given in step 1).<br />
step 3 :<br />
Do your search based on the TextBox's text.<br />
<br />
Hope this is help full to you..<br />
Thanks.

asp.net

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
