The purpose of this article is to show how to use the free AutoSuggestBox control to add 'Google Suggest' functionality to your ASP.NET application. There are plenty of articles available on the internet that explains how to do it, but there is usually just a lot of theory and not much code that you can easily add to your application. AutoSuggestBox encapsulates all the complex functionality and only requires developers to specify the data source for loading the auto-suggest menu.
AutoSuggestBox is a custom control written in C# that makes it simple to add 'Google Suggest'-like functionality to your web applications. It supports C# and VB.NET and works in Internet Explorer as well as in Firefox. This control utilizes AJAX to retrieve data without refreshing the whole page.
