Fill a combobox from a database on the fly

[95se5m]

I did a search and found nothing, I am designing a handheld app that loads about 300 or so records to a combobox from a SQLCE database, as you can guess its kinda slow.

What I would love to do is be able to fill the combobox with data as I type letters. I know there was a way to do it with a full listbox in win apps, but it would workfar better if I could parse the datafile as I type in the letters.

Any thoughts? Or am I barking up a bad code tree.

If you look at Google Suggest (http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en) and are trying to do something like that look at JavaScript RPC they use AJAX I believe, next version of VS will have it built in (Atlas)
