Does anyone have an ASP.Net code sample for predictive type/text that can be used in a dropdownbox or listbox?  VB.Net preferred, but if you have C# I suppose I could convert it.

Yes, I have and frequently wear a fedora :-P

Kinda, yeah.  I have a project where there is a list of about 500+ values to select from.  Ideally, I'd like to use a dropdownlist control, or a listbox.  I've seen some code samples, and a combobox would work too (which is essentially what I need), but .Net does not have a built-in combobox control.

Ideally a .Net managed code solution would be best, but if it has to be straight javascript that will work as well.

Also, this needs to work in .Net 2.0.

Still not quite what I'm looking for, but close.  That uses a textbox and only allows the user to type their selection.  I need that functionality combined into a dropdownlist or listbox control, not a text box, so that the user could also just scroll and find what they are looking for (normal DDL/Listbox functionality).

AJAX to the rescue!

They have a nifty new tool called ListSearch:  http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/ListSearch/ListSearch.aspx
