    Dropdown list in .Net

    Hi all,

    Here I need a help from you experts again.

    I have drop down list in my asp.net web form. My drop down list is pretty good size big and now users are complainning about scrolling down to the item they want to select.

    They are requesting to allow them to type in my than a one character so that they can get the item faster rather than scrolling down
    for example, looking for name Ryan O'Neil they have to scroll down all R's.

    Is there a way to accomplish this allow user to type in more than one character?

    Please help. My users are started getting litle upset just because of this.

    Thank You very much,
