    Question lookup table

    Hi All,

    I want to search for usernames . I want to use a lookup table for searching all names as I type each word.

    Example:

    If I type the letter A, it should display all names in the lookup table beginning with A. And when I type An it should give all names with An(like Andrew, Ann,etc).

    The lookup table should also give me the user ID. ( database has a table which has the username and userID, both these values should be returned when seacrching for the username)


    Please show an example in Vb.NET or give me a link which has a similar solution



    Thanks and regards,
    lis

    Question Re: lookup table

    s it will get back data that exists on the database.

    Like I mentioned I have a database with the fields UserName and UserID. On typing a few letters of the name , both username and UserId should be displayed so that i can select the user from the lookup table.

    Question Re: lookup table

    It should be displayed in a table (lookup table) something like a data grid (more like a popup only when for the search).
