Do you mean that you want an "autocomplete" combobox?

Are you using some control like, Ajax Autocomplete or jQuery Autocomplete or any Telerik ASP.NET control?

Solution 1

Use a filter on the BindingSource - BindingSource.Filter Property [^].
For e.g.

bs.Filter = dgv1.Columns[1].HeaderText.ToString() + " LIKE '%" +  text1.Text + "%'";

I shall show you the idea through an example:

C#

using System;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // an array of combo values
        string[] comboString = {"book", "computer", "car", "pen"};

        // search string from user
        string searchString = "o";

        // array for storing matching
        string[] matchString = {};

        foreach (var word in comboString)
        {
            if (word.Contains(searchString))
                Console.WriteLine(word);
        }
    }
}
