    auto complete a text box

    How can I create an auto complete feature for a textbox so as the user starts typing, the closest match from a datatable or dataview will display after each keystroke until a match is found/not found?

    After 149 posts there's no excuse for not specifying your version when starting a thread. If you're using VB 2005 then that functionality is already built into the TextBox. If you're using an older version then there are multiple examples posted on the Net. Try The Code Project for a start. If by some act of God you can't find what you need there then Google.
