Utilizar un cuadro combinado en lugar de un cuadro de texto. el siguiente ejemplo autocompletará, igualando cualquier pieza del texto, no sólo por las iniciales.
Esto debería ser una forma completa, sólo tiene que añadir su propio origen de datos y nombres de columna de origen de datos. :-)

//NOW THAT WE HAVE OUR FILTERED LIST, WE NEED TO RE-BIND IT WIHOUT CHANGING THE TEXT IN THE ComboBox.
//1).UNREGISTER THE SELECTED EVENT BEFORE RE-BINDING, b/c IT TRIGGERS ON BIND.
testCombo.SelectedIndexChanged -= testCombo_SelectedIndexChanged; //don't select on typing.
oBox.DataSource = oFilteredDT; //2).rebind to filtered list.
testCombo.SelectedIndexChanged += testCombo_SelectedIndexChanged;
//3).show the user the new filtered list.
oBox.DroppedDown = true; //this will overwrite the text in the ComboBox, so 4&5 put it back.
//4).binding data source erases text, so now we need to put the user's text back,
oBox.Text = sBoxText;
oBox.SelectionStart = sBoxText.Length; //5). need to put the user's cursor back where it was.

Gracias Joel, funcionó para mí. Podemos seleccionar el texto de sugerencia con las teclas de flecha arriba y abajo. Lo intenté pero no me lo permitió. – rakesh
@rakesh No he trabajado en winforms desde hace un tiempo, y no recuerdo si es una característica "estándar" o implica un esfuerzo extra. Lo siento – Joel
Gracias por proporcionar la esencia en lugar de una respuesta de solo enlace. – Jess
