i experiencing double entry in few data tables , considering implement suggestion type
show similar entries existing in column of database. so questions may have answer. sort of popup showing entries saved in column similar words.
a reference similar or type of controls used these kind features appreciated. not being professional in coding looking starting point.

you use ajaxcontroltoolkit
it has decent (if not good) auto complete extender control can used display values database.
simply download .dll , add websites bin folder , should go.
you create quick page method or web service has method matches required signature :
public string[] getcompletionlist(string prefixtext, int count) { ... }
and can return array of matched values of "prefix text", need use either ado.net code or other way of finding matched values.
you can customize of dropdown box , number of items display in box should wish.
