Hi,

would be interesting in where you get the data from. Database, XML, ...?
However, you can do great search with LINQ.

Example with XML File (could be easily adapted for your goal, important is StartsWith):

C#

var xElem = XElement.Load(@"c:\\adressbook.xml");
                        var name = from names in xElem.Descendants("contact")
                                   where names.Element("name").Value.StartsWith("A", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
                                   orderby names.Element("name").Value
                                   select names.Element("name").Value;
                        var matches = Enumerable.Distinct(name);

                        datacontext = matches;
                        ListBox_adressbook.ItemsSource = matches;

In the TextChanged event you could use a LINQ query to achive this..

C#

private void txtSearch_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
       {
           TextBox tbox = sender as TextBox;
           string str = tbox.Text;
           var Employee = db.ResourceMasters.Where(p => (p.FirstName.Contains(str) || p.LastName.Contains(str))).Select();

       }

You could put the result as itemsource for the the control you want to display the result..
