 Project Name:   AutoComplete TextBox
 Programmer:   pfemiani
 Type:   Application
 Technology:  C#
 IDE:   NONE
 Description:   I was in need of a simple auto-completing textbox for a project I was working on at work when I realized that there were really not a whole lot of good choices for this. Many of them derive from a combo box which will not work properly for a dropdown list that continues to filter out items as you continue to type
