you have to use Autocompletestringcollection

i made a little app. for you .. see this link: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_blnOia1d0Pw/TQxyMJTiRqI/AAAAAAAACc4/s8m4GWX5YkA/autocomplete.jpg

Write the following code for the button 1

Dim books As New AutoCompleteStringCollection

        Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=NITIN\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=library;Integrated Security=True")
        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select btitle from book", conn)

        conn.Open()

        Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()

        While dr.Read()

            books.Add(dr("btitle").ToString())

        End While

        Me.ComboBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource
        Me.ComboBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource = books
        Me.ComboBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest
