What is DbCombo?

In a nutshell...

DbCombo is an ASP.NET server component for picking from long lists of data.

It uses client scripting to 'auto-complete' a text box while you type - just like a combo box.

On lower browsers, it gracefully degrades to use HTML 3.2 for optimum compatibility. Functionality is not lost as this happens though, DbCombo uses the postback architecture to acheive the same result.

A word dictionary (140,000 records)
Type in the box below, and DbCombo will autocomplete your text from a dictionary of 140,000 words:

Case study

DbCombo has dramatically decreased development time by allowing us to remove code necessary to handle the complexities of loading multiple drop-down boxes with data. More importantly, DbCombo simplifies the user experience by cutting the number of clicks required in half, and eliminates long waits between page postbacks.
