autocomplete text box for .net with support for delimiter
I am developing an application which requires a text box with auto-complete/suggestions (drop down) for multiple words (separated by a delimiter like space) like the tags text box here in StackOverflow.
For example, I start typing 'app' and开发者_运维知识库 it should show all words in the suggestions list starting with app, and when I enter a word and press space and start typing a new word it should show all suggestions for that partial word.
Is there an example I can have a look at?
I Hope this helps.. I'm using developer-express tools, but the same can be used with the regular .net components.
Private Sub txtToEmail_EditValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtToEmail.EditValueChanged

Dim Emails As New List(Of String)
Emails.Add("123@abc.com")

Dim Txt = Trim(CStr(txtToEmail.EditValue))
Dim Suggestions As IEnumerable(Of String)
