This represents a control that provides a text box for user input and a drop-down that contains possible matches based on the input in the text box. When this is used in conjunction with RIA Services, you have a complex solution with minimum code. Before starting you must download the Silverlight Toolkit and RIA Services July 2009 preview.

The file is created. A default method called GetCustomers has been created for you:

public IQueryable<Customer> GetCustomers()

{   return this.Context.Customers;  }
