    <p>I am trying to add an autocomplete feature to a textbox, the results are coming from a database. They come in the format of</p> <blockquote> <p>[001] Last, First Middle</p> </blockquote> <p>Currently you must type [001]... to get the entries to show. <strong>So the problem is that I want it to complete even if I type the firstname first</strong>. So if an entry was</p> <blockquote> <p>[001] Smith, John D</p> </blockquote> <p>if I started typing John then this entry should show up in the results for the auto complete.</p> <p>Currently the code looks something like</p> <pre><code>AutoCompleteStringCollection acsc = new AutoCompleteStringCollection(); txtBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource = acsc; txtBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest; txtBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource; .... if (results.Rows.Count &gt; 0) for (int i = 0; i &lt; results.Rows.Count &amp;&amp; i &lt; 10; i++) { row = results.Rows[i]; acsc.Add(row["Details"].ToString()); } } </code></pre> <p><em>results is a dataset containing the query results</em></p> <p><em>The query is a simple search query using the like statement. The correct results are returned if we do not use the autocomplete and just toss the results into an array.</em></p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>Here is the query that returns the results</p> <pre><code>SELECT Name from view_customers where Details LIKE '{0}' </code></pre> <p><em>With {0} being the placeholder for the searched string.</em></p>

    1. COIt looks ok at a glance. It would be useful to see more of the code, including the query used and the initialization of 'id' (do you have two autocomplete boxes going?).

    2. COOk added an edit with the query. I am only using 1 autocomplete box. The ID is actually not ever being used in the results it was added for later use and thus I have removed it in this edit. Sorry for the confusion.

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
