How to make a google-like auto complete textbox with C# in an application?

Question

Hey!

I tried to find a solution but I didn't found what I was searching for. So here is my problem. I want a google like behaviour with a textbox. As I type "dum" it should find dummy in the database and display it as option under the textbox. It should be selectable. I don't use ASP.net or any other stuff. Just pure C#.

Thanks for your help!
