txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteCustomSource = acscName;
txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;

#endregion Distrubitor Company

var drta = db.Deposites.Select(x => x.DepositeName).ToArray<String>();

AutoCompleteStringCollection acscDepositeName = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();

acscDepositeName.AddRange(drta);

txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteCustomSource = acscDepositeName;
txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;

I am only getting the last source in output, but I want from it both.
What am I doing wrong here?

Why not add both sources to the same AutoCompleteStringCollection then:

C#

DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
var drt = db.Franchises.Select(x => x.DistrubitorCompany).ToArray<string>()
AutoCompleteStringCollection acscName = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
// Add this source to the auto completer
acscName.AddRange(drt);

#endregion Distrubitor Company

var drta = db.Deposites.Select(x => x.DepositeName).ToArray<string>();
// Add the second source to the same autocompleter instance
acscName.AddRange(drta);

txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteCustomSource = acscName;
txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
txtDepositedTo.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
