Working in vb.net at the mo so can't look at the control but the easiest way is to bind to a dataset and limit the number of records you bring back from the database to 10 at the time.

thnaks for the response but what I really need is a scrollbar on the dropdown with a limit to the number of items to display at sight (as in VB6 where you can fill a combo or list box and define how many to display at sight) . I just cant see a property that lets me do this. I must be missing something obvious but just cant pick it

help

get some good third party controls, like NetAdvantage from Infragistics. They have properties to limit this stuff i think. I dont do web development tho. it sucks! =)
