Have a look at the AutoComplete control in the AjaxControlToolkit.

I use the autocomplete plugin for jquery, as I shy away from the AJAX toolkit in most cases. Easy to use remote sources - see the demos from the plugin page.

 $("#someTextBoxId").autocomplete({
    source: function(request, response) {
        $.ajax({
            url: "SomeWebService.asmx/GetNames",
            data: "{ 'part': '" + request.term + "' }",
            dataType: "json",
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataFilter: function(data) { return data; },
            success: function(data) {
                response($.map(data.d, function(item) {
                    return {
                        value: item.SomeFieldFromYourJSON
                    }
                }))
            }
        });
    },
    minLength: 2
});

Do you need to develop one, or do you need to use one? If using it is the imortant part perhaps the AutoComplete sample at the asp.net Ajax site might help you.
