Hello all,

I am looking to emulate the "contacts" style controls on a windows mobile. For example, it looks like the contacts list is built up using a list box with a text box at the top so the user can search for contacts.

I was wondering if anyone had any links or pointers to similar functionality. For example, i wish to load up a customer list, just like the contacts list, with a search facility at the top.

At the moment i have a text box for the search and a list box for all the customers (databound to a dataset containing all the customers). However, i filter on the datasource when text is entered in the search box and it is sooooooooo slow, so i also need some speed pointers.

Also, the contact list has more of a grid feel to it as it has horizontal grid lines etc. I really wish to create this effect

many thanks in advance
