In this article we take a TextBox for user
input. ComboBox that would allow them to scroll the entire list, as well as
filter the list as the user typed in the TextBox.
you see your word is being typed automatically based on the character you type.
This control that provides this functionality is called an AutoCompleteBox.
AXML code:
<UserControl
x:Class="SilverlightApplication14.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300"
d:DesignWidth="400"

<TextBlock
Canvas.Left="5"
Canvas.Top="10"
