Set Textbox Properties:

AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend
AutoCompleteSource = CustomSource

Now use this code

On Form Load Event

VB

Private Sub Form4_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        fill_data()
    End Sub

Sub fill_data()
        Dim ds As New DataSet
        Dim i As Integer = 0
        ds = selectdata(&quot;Select * from mst_members order by member_name&quot;)

        If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count &gt; 0 Then
            While (i &lt;&gt; ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count)
                Me.TextBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(ds.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(&quot;member_name&quot;).ToString)
                i = i + 1
            End While
        End If
        i = 0
        ds.Clear()
    End Sub
