I'm creating .NET 3.5 WinForms application.

I need to create textbox which remembers last 10 entries (stores in isolated
storage) and
offers users to select them on entry just like IE auto-complete address bar.
I think I must use textBox custom AutoCompleteSource.

Where to find sample code which implements this ?

I think it's a combo box you're after. You'd populate its items collection
with the remembered text strings.

the following code worked for me. also you have to change the source
of textbox to custom source.
i am using a queue. there mite be a better way to limit a queue to 10.

Dim someQ As New Queue(Of String)
Dim c As New AutoCompleteStringCollection
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

someQ.Enqueue(TextBox1.Text)
Do While someQ.Count > 10
someQ.Dequeue()
Loop

TextBox1.Clear()
c.Clear()
c.AddRange(someQ.ToArray())


End Sub

Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TextBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource = someQ

TextBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource = c

End Sub
