Hello i have a webform that user enter's data and data are saved in sql database by a click of a button.The form has some textbox,dropdoun menus,and radiobuttons.

I am not sure I understand you but it sounds like you want to insert the record if it does not exist otherwise update? If so, in your SQL use the EXISTS keyword. IF EXSIST (SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = @ID) BEGIN -- do the update END ELSE BEGIN -- do the insert -- END

I think you are looking for AutoComplete and AutoSuggest. If so, Visual Studio can provide property settings for you. If you type something in and it's already in there, it will autofill for you, is this what you are looking for?

Unless I'm missing something, I am reiterating setting AutoComplete and AutoSuggest for the textboxes to be enabled. I can't decipher anything else from what you are telling me.
