Superwong-
You definitely want to use Ajax (as was suggested). Since you're using ASP.NET 2.0, your best bet is to look into the ASP.NET AJAX framework. For complete information on the ASP.NET AJAX framework, visit http://ajax.asp.net. Specifically, to accomplish your scenario you may want to use the AutoCompleteExtender contained in the ASP.NET AJAX AjaxControlToolkit. The AutoComplete extender enables you to easily search a database as users enter text into a textbox.
If you'd like a more manual approach, you can also use the features of ASP.NET AJAX to manually call a server function using JavaScript. Check out this tutorial in the ASP.NET AJAX documentation for some help with that approach.
Let me know if that helps~
