private void txtClientName_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    if (txtClientName.Text.Length == 1)

    {

        completeCollection.Clear();

        CustomerRepository repo = new CustomerRepository();

        var customers = repo.FindAllCustomers().Where(u => u.Name.StartsWith(txtClientName.Text) || u.LastName.StartsWith(txtClientName.Text));

 

        foreach (var customer in customers)

        {

            completeCollection.Add(customer.Name + " " + customer.LastName);

        }

 

        txtClientName.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;

        txtClientName.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;

        txtClientName.AutoCompleteCustomSource = completeCollection;
